how do i aim the viewpoint at a point? Edited by - ptdc on January 1, 2001 6:36:47 PM Edited by - PTDC on January 1, 2001 6:44:31 PM

Thats a very open ended question, and I''m not able to give you a concrete answer. Perhaps if you let us know which API you are using (D3D or OpenGL), if any, then someone could be of more help.

OpenGl of course

"OpenGL of course"...I had no idea it was so obvious.

Why not? He''s posting in the Nehe forum

well seeing as this is a forum for a site mainly about opengl it is fairly obvious

Now if people are done being sarcastic???

Id say look into gluLootAt it might do what you need.

There are several ways, but the easiest is probably gluLookAt(...). I don''t really use it, but I think it''s usage is:

  gluLookAt(cameraX, cameraY, cameraZ, pointX, pointY, pointZ, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);  

Hope it works,
