get camera center of interest
Jun 13th, 2006, 2:17pm  
Hi !
I'm a newbie at Processing, trying to interface a sketch with the Lemur (OSC controller).
I've set up some functions triggered by OSC to modify the camera position and orientation :

beginCamera();
rotateZ(angle);
endCamera();

...

beginCamera();
translate(0,0,z);
endCamera();

I'm keeping an dynamic array of vertices coordinates, to add one vertex at a time to a dynamic shape, while the camera can be moved around freely. I would like to know the current center of interest of the camera each time I add a new vertex, so it always gets added at the center of the current view. I've played with modelX and others but the documentation on those functions is rather sparse.

Anyone can help ?

Thanks in advance Smiley

basically I would like to have access to all the camera parameters that would reach the current camera configuration when fed to the camera() function, i.e :
eyeX, eyeY, eyeZ, centerX, centerY, centerZ

I've searched the dev reference and couln't find accessible fields containing this info
