Hi guys, I'm making an editor and I need to pan the view like in a 3D modeller. My camera has a position and look, right, and up vectors. To rotate I first rotate (using quaternions) around the up for yaw, then around the (rotated) right for pitch; to zoom I move the position along the look vector. I can't figure out to pan though.

Please help. Thank you.

PS - If you use 3ds Max, I want to pan like when you hold the middle mouse button down.

Change the position with your current up and right vector, like so (pseudo code).

   // dx, dy are your current mouse move deltas
   camera.position += dx * camera.right + dy * camera.up;

Probably need to play with the signs (-dy * up, if your mouse y increases when moving down) and scale according to current frame delta time and some empirical value until it feels right.

It works like a charm now, thank you.
