Camera settings and Y axis Dec 7th, 2007, 11:06am   Hi all, I was just wondering : If the 'up vector' of my camera is (0, 1, 0) - as specified in the last 3 arguments of the camera constructor - then why is the Y-axis down on the image? I don't get it... Code: size(200, 200, P3D); background(255); camera(10, 20, 50, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0); stroke(255, 0, 0); line(0, 0, 0, 100, 0, 0); stroke(0, 255, 0); line(0, 0, 0, 0, 100, 0); stroke(0, 0, 255); line(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 100); stroke(0); fill(200); box(10);
