Hi Robert et al. Let me explain what I want to do accomplish an example:
I load a model with no camera manipulator. I know the camera parameters (eye, ctr, up) that yield a desired pose. I set the viewer camera with those parameters and obtain the desired pose. Now I want to assume that I don't know those parameters. A user loads a model with a trackball manipulator. He / she can manipulate the model until the desired pose is obtained and recuperate the camera parameters (eye, ctr, up), which should be what I used in the previous step... Is that more clear ? How would I achieve this ? regards, Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Robert Osfield Sent: Tue 9/18/2007 11:28 AM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] Trackball and view question Hi Bill, The camera manipulators role is to modifying the view matrix so I'm a bit perplexed that you are suprised by this. Also please considering move from SimpleViewer up to osgViewer::Viewer working as an embedded viewer in 2.x rather than using SimpleViewer as it only existed for a short while and has been totally superseded.
