hey, I have some code that uses gluLookAt, it is from a camera class, although, for my other code that i have done i am using glRotatef and glTranslatef, i know the variables for glTranslatef, if i say that the variables i input into gluLookAt are camEye, camUp, camDir: gluLookAt(camEye.x, camEye.y, camEye.z, camUp.x, camUp.y, camUp.z, camDir.x, camDir.y, camDir.z); how can i change this so i can use glRotatef and glTranslatef ?? Thanks.

I think the roll, pitch, yaw is a completely different method of doing it though - it may not fit all situations as easily.

You can actually figure out the matrix and use glLoadMatrix or a series of rotations and translations. A 3D Math book will help out there.

I tried this when I started because I Was under the impression glu was like glut and wasn''t available everywhere. Don''t do it. Use gluLookAt - the driver will do it so much faster than you will.

cheers for da help, i will have a play i think i can get it to work (i think i can work out the roll and stuff from what i have).
