Hi! I have done gamelesson 4 (loading MD2 and MS3D files) and now i wonder how to move the camera in a easy way? I want to place the camera behind the object on the screen no matter how it is rotated and i fugured i could do this by simply not using glLoadIdentity between the placement of the object and the camera (and using glTranslatef to go back some units on the objects x-axis).

I don''t know...i am using glLookAt as a camera...i am not sure if this is the right thing to do, but it works in my projects.....

If you want to do things without using GLU, you can always do...

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);glRotatef(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f); //rotates cam on x, y, and z axisglTranslatef(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f); //moves cam somewhere in the world

Of course, thats just one simple way of doing it. both the GL_PROJECTION method I showed you, as well as the gluLookAt method presented by ironhell3 are fairly quick fixes. There are other ways of moving the camera in OpenGL as well.
