[Papervision3D] Can't seem to figure out Cameras

[Javier España | javierespana.com]

Well, I've replaced camera.position = new Number3D(0, 0, 0) with camera.x =
0, camera.y = 0 and camera.z = 0

Now it's working, but the object seems to be above the camera, and not in
the center... Could it have anything to do with the Collada file? I've
positioned the object in 0,0,0 previous the exporting the Collada file...

Any idea?
