Hello all

I'm trying to make the camera orbit around a item in a sketch, but I'm failing miserably.
the object is at 0,0,0, and I'm using the camera eyeX, eyeY and eyeZ. My idea is to have a given radius between the object and the camera, and use simple trigonometry to get the eye coordinates.

But... it doesn't work. Using only the x axis, it works perfectly;

but when the y rotation takes place, what a mess... for the eyez value, I have to get either the sin of the x or the y rotation, that's the first pitfall.


Does anyone know a link with information about this or has any suggestion?

Thanks!

great! didn't know about it. I'll check it out.

Thanks

Well, this was a beautiful story. The kind of stuff I get excited about and the reason Processing and this board exists!
