transforms driving newbie crazy please help :) 2004-04-02 - By James Carrington

Thanks all for the great help. Im gonna have a go with transforming with
a dummy parent object tmrw. I man aged to get my camera zooming in and
out with the fieldofView but I got an error due to it exceeding limits.
I think I might go with the method of moving the camera closer to the
dummy object as opposed to changing the fieldofview.
That tree example looks great by the way... how would I go about
downloading the dir file. All I can get is the movie playing in my
browser.
Cheers
James.

The other part of the problem, having a camera orbit an object under
keyboard control, becomes a lot easier if you make a model (which can
be invisible) and make that the parent of the camera. The model would
be at the center of the scene, and so when you want the camera to
orbit you would just Y rotate the invisible model.
To zoom in and out you could either translate the camera position's
Z, which will move it closer or further away from the invisible
model, or you could change the fieldofview of the camera.
