[Papervision3D] Can't seem to figure out Cameras

[o renken]

Its mostly done for you :-)
A simple way to circle around your object is

onLoop(){

camera.position = new Number3D(0, 0, 0);  // your 'circle center'
camera.yaw(1); // your rotation speed around Yaxis
camera.moveBackward(1000); // move camera back 1000 units with its current
rotationY

render()
}


try to implement the hoverCamera/ orbit. Its much more fun :-)
