I've been trying to create a camera that is controlled by the mouse and rotates around a fixed point (read: (0,0,0)), both vertical and horizontal. This is what I've come up with:
camera.Eye = Vector3.Transform(camera.Eye, Matrix.CreateRotationY(camRotYFloat));
Vector3 customAxis = new Vector3(-camera.Eye.Z, 0, camera.Eye.X);
camera.Eye = Vector3.Transform(camera.Eye, Matrix.CreateFromAxisAngle(customAxis, camRotXFloat * 0.0001f));
This works quit well, except from the fact that when I 'use' the second transformation (go up and down with the mouse) the camera not only goes up and down, it also closes in on the point. It zooms in.
How do I prevent this?
Thanks in advance.
