I don`t know about you but I use this and it wortks perfect so far->

what's "WalkMode.Direction" ? the vector created by
CurrentPosition - EndPosition?
CurrentPosition - EndPosition?

didalabu2: In OpenGL, the default camera orientation is that object inside the screen have negative Z coordinates. It's a common mistake to assume that axisX=normalize(cross(axisZ,up)), because in fact it's axisX=normalize(cross(-axisZ,up))=normalize(cross(up,axisZ)).
I would even say that axisZ=-normalize(look-eye).
cippyboy : this equation works with flat world viewing, eg a FPS-style game like Doom or Doom II. I mean, you can't look up or down with this method, and I think didalabu2 would need to.

WalkMode.Direction functions like a direction, I actually normalize it and use it for walking in all directions :)

I can say that I ca perfectly look up and down with my methods(there`s more code in it than just the rendering part), I`ve completed a full third person camera that functions quite OK :), I actually had to equalize y with 0 so that the WalkMode will not... "fly" :p
