Hi i have just started learning directx and i am programming a simple first person shooter. I am currently implmenting a camera which translates to the users position and rotates around the player when the mouse is moved. I currently have the movement all sorted although i am having problems with the camera rotation. Wheneva i rotate the camera rotates around 0,0,0 instead of the position of the camera. am i fully aware that you should translate the camera to the center point rotate and then translate back but as of yet i have not been able to impliment this. I was just wondering if any one could have a look at my code and tell me where i am going wrong. Thanks in advance Dan //vector3D is a custom made vector class used throughout the rest of //the program. vector3D posip = player->pos(); vector3D face = player->facing(); D3DXQUATERNION rot; D3DXQuaternionIdentity(&rot); D3DXQuaternionRotationYawPitchRoll(&rot, face.x, face.y, 0); D3DXMATRIX matView; D3DXMatrixIdentity(&matView); D3DXVECTOR3 pos(posip.x, posip.y, posip.z); D3DXVECTOR3 headoffset(0,10,0); pos = pos + headoffset; D3DXMatrixAffineTransformation(&matView, 1.00f, &pos, &rot, &pos); d3ddev->SetTransform(D3DTS_VIEW, &matView);

thank you so much, i have been fiddling with this for bou 6 hours.
thank you again!
