HI Mark,
OK, I now understand better what you are trying to do.
You can use a osgGA::NodeTrackerManipulator as per the osgsimulation
example, or attach a CameraView node to the same subgraph as the
object you want to follow that use a
osgGA::CameraViewSwitchManipulator.
Alternatively rather than use a CameraManpulator just roll you own
code to set the Camera's view matrix on each new frame. The view
matrix required is the inverse of the accumulated from the root of the
scene graph to the node you want to track. The
node->getWorldMatrices() method can be used to be the matrx (or
matrices) that position you node, then just invert this and pass to
the viewer via:
viewer.realize();
while(!viewer.done())
{
viewer.advncne();
viewer.eventTraversal();
viewer.updateTraversal();
// really should double check size ofmatrices array returned, but
will leave this to reader to complete :-)
osg::Matrix worldTolocal = myNode->getWorldMatrices()[0];
viewer.getCamera()->setViewMatrix(osg::Matrix::inverse(localToWorld));
viewer.renderingTraversals();
}
Robert.
