i want to rotate (circle) the opengl camera around one specific object...

i can set the lookat-coordinates of the camera to fix it at an specific point...

now i have to change the x and z axis of the camera itself to rotate around the object...

it should be a simple mathformula for calculating the position in a circle... something with sin-cos.. ??

is there an special object or can you tell me the formular...

useful for your purpose:

another tip is to search http://maxobjects.com/ for all 3rd party  
options

... and also the [poltocar] object should be useful.

Such things only have effect if you use a background, or other objects

in combination to the object you want to rotate around. Else just

rotating the object itself would be fine.
