Hello, I am using a joystick to control a jit.anim.drive + jit.gl.camera. It's awesome.

Is there way to control a position that would be relative to my rotation instead of an absolute value?

For example, if I rotate 180 degrees on the y axis, my left is on the right and my right is on the left.

This is confusing. I'd like my xyz axes to move with me.

Jit.anim.node can act as a parent object to your jit.gl.camera.

yeah check out @turnmode and @movemode attributes

thanks! it sounds like the turn message to jit.anim.node with @turnmode local and @movemode local was exactly what I was looking for.

can I still use the easing of jit.anim.drive with jit.gl.node? (sorry if it sounds stupid I am a beginner in the gl world...)

yes, just hook an anim.drive up to your anim.node. the anim.drive will animate based on the settings of @turnmode and @movemode
