[Papervision3D] How do you change the camera type in pv3d 2.0 beta ?

[Kevin Aebig]

Aside from setting target = null, what else would need to be changed to
achieve the same results? It seems that other parameters are defaulted
differently than the old FreeCamera3D.

Here's a bunch of definitive answers on cameras : 

 

If you want to have a freecamera, make sure camera.target = null;

If you want to use the old camera3d functionality, set the target to a do3d.

 

If you want to use the frustum functionality, set camera.useCulling = true;

To use an orthographic camera, set camera.ortho = true;

To "zoom" when in ortho mode, use camera.orthoScale

Hi,

Thanks Gordon!

I've tried it, but doesn't seem to work.

I would've used camera.type if there was.
Doesn't show up in my hints.

I've tried :

camera.type = CameraType.FREE;

but I get: Access of possibly undefined property type through a reference
with static type org.papervision3d.cameras:Camera3D.

Which makes sense, because I don't see a type property in Camera 3D.

In the output panel I get "Papervision3D Public Beta 2.0 - Great White
(20.08.25)"
So I'm guessing this is the last build. I can use camera.ortho which wasn't
in the older version I had.

I'm using the classes in the trunk/as3 folder, but I've opened up
Camera3D.as from the Great White folder as well and I see no
type property. 

What is the latest build ?

Cheers,
George
