Hello,

I love PeasyCam!

But how can I set the CamState in PeasyCam?

 camState = cam.getState ();
 camState.center.X = 300;
 camState.center.Y = 700;
 camState.center.Z = 60;
(how does this work??)

do something.....

I then want to call the state via

   cam.setState( camState, 900 );

But I don't know how to set the coordinates.

Thanks!

Greetings, happy new year!

Hello Mr Feinberg,

thank you very much for answering personally.

May goal is to move the camera with an animation,
with a slow sweeep.

In your library this can be done via

         cam.setState( camStateMoving, 900 );

with the code
camera.lookAt(double x, double y, double z);
camera.setDistance(double d);  
I don't have a nice animation of the movement of the camera.

I'd need a function to give me a part of a circle or a 3D-spline on which to move the camera step by step but the math fail me.

Thanks!

Happy new year!

as far as i know this is already implemented in peasy cam.

you are right, i had in mind that it could be animated. but its only the lookat and state that could be animated. not the rotation. i am wondering why. would be nice to be added.

I'm sorry I haven't been replying. I thought I had this forum set to send me mail on new posts, but I've received nothing.

PeasyCam doesn't know where the camera is, so to speak. It knows how far it is from its look-at point, and it knows how to orbit itself around its look-at point in terms of a quaternion representation of a rotation. So there *is* no way to directly position the camera.

I don't do interpolations on rotateX/Y/Z because those methods apply changes to the current rotation; they don't set an absolute rotation. The methods that do animations are all aiming towards fixed values.
