funny camera thingy...
Author
Hi, I''ve just created my camera from the gametutorials tutorial on camera with all the function with mouselook and strafe. Problem is, in my drawing code, i loaded a milkshape mesh (whose drawing code is encapsulated in the model class) and when i loaded the program, the model got stuck to my camera and moved where i moved. Freaky.
So here''s what i found - if I placed gluLookAt with generic values (not the values from the camera) in my drawing code instead of in the camera''s Look() code, it works fine.
How do I get about it? Thanks in advanced.

tried this:
gluLookAt(40, 40, 40, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0);
and it works
gluLookAt(40, 40, 40, camera.view.x, camera.view.y, camera.view.z, camera.up.x, camera.up.y, camera.up.z);
and it works
gluLookAt(camera.pos.x, camera.pos.y, camera.pos.z, camera.view.x, camera.view.y, camera.view.z, camera.up.x, camera.up.y, camera.up.z);
and it DOESNT works!!!!
can anybody please tell me what is happening?
gluLookAt(40, 40, 40, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0);

the most likely problem? camera does not have position 40,40,40, is not looking at point 0,0,0 or has a bad "up"-vector.

kno what guys? it worked perfectly today. Don''t know what I changed and what I did to make it work. Sigh. Also I did not use Push and Pop matrix whatsoever. Maybe its because of a slip up in the camera code? Man I hate it when it works without a reason. Freaky.

a more unlikely thing that can sometimes make things work all of a sudden (or not) is your ide. if it doesnt recompile some files (example cpp files including a header you just changed) strange things might happen because whatever you do is simply ignored until its all compiled again (one more reason to not have implementations in header files)
