I just noticed something very horrible. Those walls are 128 inches high. That's roughly 10 feet. I could easily cut them down to 7 or 8 feet for the inside view. That might make a huge difference. If not, I'll probably try fading them in or out based on the wall normal and camera normal. So the view will end up looking like the old-school game, Immortal. Good view, I think.
Quote:It is relevant only in that it tends to give me a hard time when view angle changes very often.
As far as I know, there are only three choices. Camera-relative, character-relative, or world-relative. Character relative movement feels too much like driving a tank (the old GTA games played like this I think). And unless you want to move back by pressing left, world-relative is out.
The camera will never zoom or rotate unless you control it to do so. There are automatic camera options, but they are options and off by default. I assume you're talking about the Mario 64 syndrome - when you walk through doorways and your view is jerked into another angle? My camera is no different than that of Diablo until you decide you want to change it.
Thanks for the suggestions.
The first / second view are the same character positions, the camera is just rotated and zoomed. Same goes for the third and fourth. I'm looking for opinions. Is this acceptable? To be forced to rotate the camera in small areas like this to see everything? Or do I have to come up with some system to hide the foreground walls (and all objects hanging on or related to them)? Any other ideas?
edit: I Forgot to mention there will be very little if any real-time combat in these invironnments.
I appreciate any feedback.
