When drawing a scene, and you want to move around in it, do you have to draw the scene relative to you, or can you just move the camera around opengl''s set grid? -godkane

there is no camera, you cannot move it. The only way to make it seem as though the viewpoint is moving is to move the world around you. gluLookAt might help, but it only simulates camera movement by translating the world

Look at it this way. What is the camera? Your screen. You can''t move the screen around, so you can''t move the camera around.
gluLookAt is nice because it makes it seem like you really are moving a camera around. But really all it''s doing is translating and rotating as well.
