i’m trying to build a 3d universe and move the camera inside pointing the mouse on the direction i want to reach. I find it quite difficult. I’d like to giev some coordinates by pointing the mouse on the render window and control a speed parameter to move inside. The problem is feeding the right parameters to the camera base on its current position and “look at” vector. After some trigonometry i thought maybe getting information form the jit.gl.handle would be much easier. Anyone should have tried something similar. Any idea/code sample on how to do that?
Any discussion is much appreciated, i see it quite challenge for me!
Thanks
Alberto

I’ll have a look… Did not think it could be so difficult… but it’s a good starting point saving me lots of maths!
Cheers

Made something like this in Processing and have been meaning to put a Max version together. So here it is. Hope someone finds it useful!

In the mean time i managed to modify the ”advanced camera” example and it works quite fine. But i can always learn from more experience user! By the way would it be possible for you to re-post the previous patch in max 4 format? I’m still old school Wink.
Cheers

You can download the patch and run it through that SC converter script – that should work as there are no Max5-only objects.

best,
Zachary

I’ve attached it here, and also included it in my abstraction package on the website. Picture included as well.
