After changing pivot point camera still rotates around itself. Software: Away3D 4.x

Parez, Newbie Posted: 12 January 2012 03:13 PM Total Posts: 11 Hi, After updating Away3D to the newest version the changing of the camera pivotPoint doesn’t show any effect. `view.camera.pivotPoint = new Vector3D(0,500,500); view.camera.rotationX = 45;` shows the same result as `view.camera.pivotPoint = new Vector3D(0,0,0); view.camera.rotationX = 45;` Why is it so? Am I doing everything right? Thanks.
bildakid, Newbie Posted: 19 January 2012 05:12 PM Total Posts: 4 [ # 1 ] I’m having the same problem I tried to use the cameraController on a hover cam and using camera.x I was about to move but when I rotated using the panAngle and tileAngle of the camera controller my camera snapped back to it’s original position. I’m now trying to use a normal camera3D and I can move it around the sceen but I can not rotate it. I basically want a first person camera where they use the keyboad to move forward/bak left/right and use the mouse to look around, but I couldn’t do it using the hoverCam and the normal camera3D I can’t rotate? Any suggestions
Baush, Sr. Member Posted: 19 January 2012 08:34 PM Total Posts: 135 [ # 2 ] I have been working around this by moving my camera position on my character and then using moveBackwards and moveUp: `camera.position = target.position; camera.rotationY = target.rotationY; camera.moveBackwards(1000); camera.moveUp(500); camera.lookAt(target.position);` I hope the pivotPoint gets fixed so I can remove this hack
