I think the problem is somewhere in this 2 functions:
void camera::RotateCamera(double Angle, double x, double y, double z)
{
quaternion temp, quat_view, result;
temp.x = x * sin(Angle/2);
temp.y = y * sin(Angle/2);
temp.z = z * sin(Angle/2);
temp.w = cos(Angle/2);
quat_view.x = look.x;
quat_view.y = look.y;
quat_view.z = look.z;
quat_view.w = 0;
result = mult(mult(temp, quat_view), conjugate(temp));
look.x = result.x;
look.y = result.y;
look.z = result.z;
}
void camera::control()
{
vect MouseDirection;
//middle
int midx = screensize.x/2;
int midy = screensize.y/2;
static double xrot = 0.0;
double maxAngle = 1;
quaternion dlp;
dlp.x = look.x - pos.x;
dlp.y = look.y - pos.y;
dlp.z = look.z - pos.z;
if((pt.x == midx) && (pt.y == midy))
return;
MouseDirection.x = (midx - pt.x)/MouseSensitivity;
MouseDirection.y = (midy - pt.y)/MouseSensitivity;
SetCursorPos(midx, midy);
if(xrot > 1)
{
xrot = 1;
return;
}
if(xrot < -1)
{
xrot = -1;
return;
}
else
{
// get the axis to rotate around the x-axis.
quaternion Axis = CrossProduct(dlp, up);
// To be able to use the quaternion conjugate, the axis to
// rotate around must be normalized.
Axis = normalize(Axis);
// Rotate around the y axis
RotateCamera(MouseDirection.y, Axis.x, Axis.y, Axis.z);
// Rotate around the x axis
RotateCamera(MouseDirection.x, 0, 1, 0);
}
gluLookAt(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z, look.x, look.y, look.z, up.x, up.y, up.z);
}
this is my code for freelook camera. screen reacts with some flickering only on the objects that camera affects.
can anyone tell me whats wrong? It seems like everything rotates and comes back at the same time.
This is the rest of camera code:
//quaternions
typedef struct{
double x;
double y;
double z;
double w;
} quaternion;
typedef struct{
double x;
double y;
double z;
} vect;
quaternion CrossProduct(quaternion v1, quaternion v2)
{
quaternion v3;
v3.x = v1.y * v2.z - v1.z * v2.y;
v3.y = v1.x * v2.z - v1.z * v2.x;
v3.z = v1.x * v2.y - v1.y * v2.x;
return v3;
}
double lenght(quaternion quat)
{
return sqrt(quat.x * quat.x + quat.y * quat.y +
quat.z * quat.z + quat.w * quat.w);
}
quaternion normalize(quaternion quat)
{
double L = lenght(quat);
quat.x /= L;
quat.y /= L;
quat.z /= L;
quat.w /= L;
return quat;
}
quaternion conjugate(quaternion quat)
{
quat.x = -quat.x;
quat.y = -quat.y;
quat.z = -quat.z;
return quat;
}
quaternion mult(quaternion A, quaternion B)
{
quaternion C;
C.x = A.w*B.x + A.x*B.w + A.y*B.z - A.z*B.y;
C.y = A.w*B.y - A.x*B.z + A.y*B.w + A.z*B.x;
C.z = A.w*B.z + A.x*B.y - A.y*B.x + A.z*B.w;
C.w = A.w*B.w - A.x*B.x - A.y*B.y - A.z*B.z;
return C;

}
As i said, problem is that screen is just blinkin a little when i move a mouse, nothing rotates, but it seems like it rotates fast and then gets back on position again. I used simple quaternion camera tutorial to code this.
