Hey GBear you can zoom with the hovercamera by adjusting the distance property, and the targetpanangle and targettiltangle are used for controlling rotation, as i'm sure you've seen from the examples
the default values for hovercamera are 800 distance, 0 targetpanangle, 90 targettiltangle. this places the camera looking from the top straight down onto the center of the scene, from a distance of 800. you may be seeing default angle of 45 degrees from the demos you are working with, because they have been reset at the start of the demo. the hovercamera does not give you full rotation control, because the orientation of the camera is always 'up'. for that, you need to just use the standard camera3d class, moving and rotating it using the x/y/z rotationX/rotationY/rotationZ properties. experiment with these and you shoudl get what you need Rob On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 2:49 PM, GBear <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Guys > > I'm trying to build a scene with the ability to navigate like you can > using Blender, ie zoom and full 360 rotation on all axes, but not have > the container rotate as with the globe example. > > All the other examples seem to have limited movement and I've tried > changing values with little noticeable effect.
