Hello! So I recently went from OpenGL 2.X (using now deprecated functions like, glTranslate etc.) to using OpenGL 3.2. This also meant implementing matrices manually for all of my transformation. While this is extremely fun and very enjoyable, it's hard.

My problem is that when I move my Camera (Viewmatrix) in the +Y direction, my OBJ that I loaded into my game is moving upwards (hence im moving the camera "downwards" relative to the object). This also affects moving in +/- X. + Goes left, - Goes right.

Why is it that I have this problem? I've checked my Projectionmatrix and it seems to be correct, according to http://ogldev.atspace.co.uk/www/tutorial12/12_11.png

Projectionmatrix

perspectiveMatrix.setIdentity();

float aspectRatio = WIDTH / HEIGHT;
float zRange = zNear - zFar;

perspectiveMatrix.m00 = (float) (1.0f / (aspectRatio * Math.tan(degreesToRadians(fieldOfView / 2.0f))));
perspectiveMatrix.m11 =  (float) (1.0f / (Math.tan(degreesToRadians(fieldOfView / 2.0f))));
perspectiveMatrix.m22 = (-zNear - zFar) / zRange;
perspectiveMatrix.m23 = 1;
perspectiveMatrix.m32 = (2 * zFar * zNear) / zRange;

Modelmatrix is Identity.

Viewmatrix is changed when I move:

if(moveUp)
    Matrices.viewMatrix.translate(new Vector3f(0, 1.0f * moveSpeed, 0));

if(moveLeft)
    Matrices.viewMatrix.translate(new Vector3f(-1.0f * moveSpeed, 0, 0));

if(moveDown)
    Matrices.viewMatrix.translate(new Vector3f(0, -1.0f * moveSpeed, 0));

if(moveRight)
    Matrices.viewMatrix.translate(new Vector3f(1.0f * moveSpeed, 0, 0));

Vertex Shader:

#version 330

uniform mat4 perspectiveMatrix;
uniform mat4 viewMatrix;
uniform mat4 modelMatrix;

layout(location = 0) in vec3 position;

out vec4 color;

void main(){
    gl_Position = perspectiveMatrix * viewMatrix * modelMatrix * vec4(position, 1.0);
    color = vec4(position, 1.0);
}

Tell me if you need more. I don't believe you should though.

Thanks!, Slushy.

How are you constructing your View Matrix?

Well, stupid me. I had just set the View Matrix to Identity and thought that'd take care of it. Obviously that was not correct, I used this to setup a View Matrix and now it works like a charm!

Thanks!

I'll use this as a bump post and hope that somebody answers me again. My problem didn't get solved.. I posted my earlier post to fast. My problem still exists unfortunately..

Here is my Camera class.

Hope somebody can solve this for me.. Feels like I've tried everything. Ofcourse I could just move the camera in the opposite direction that it's supposed to be moved. But I want it to be correct.
