How to fix issue with my 3D first person camera?
- by dxCUDA
My camera moves and rotates, but relative to the worlds origin, instead of the players. I am having difficulty rotating the camera and then translating the camera in the direction relative to the camera facing angle.
I have been able to translate the camera and rotate relative to the players origin, but not then rotate and translate in the direction relative to the cameras facing direction.
My goal is to have a standard FPS-style camera.
float yaw, pitch, roll;
D3DXMATRIX rotationMatrix;
D3DXVECTOR3 Direction;
D3DXMATRIX matRotAxis,matRotZ;
D3DXVECTOR3 RotAxis;
// Set the yaw (Y axis), pitch (X axis), and roll (Z axis) rotations in radians.
pitch = m_rotationX * 0.0174532925f;
yaw = m_rotationY * 0.0174532925f;
roll = m_rotationZ * 0.0174532925f;
up = D3DXVECTOR3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);//Create the up vector
//Build eye ,lookat and rotation vectors from player input data
eye = D3DXVECTOR3(m_fCameraX, m_fCameraY, m_fCameraZ);
lookat = D3DXVECTOR3(m_fLookatX, m_fLookatY, m_fLookatZ);
rotation = D3DXVECTOR3(m_rotationX, m_rotationY, m_rotationZ);
D3DXVECTOR3 camera[3] = {eye,//Eye
lookat,//LookAt
up };//Up
RotAxis.x = pitch;
RotAxis.y = yaw;
RotAxis.z = roll;
D3DXVec3Normalize(&Direction, &(camera[1] - camera[0]));//Direction vector
D3DXVec3Cross(&RotAxis, &Direction, &camera[2]);//Strafe vector
D3DXVec3Normalize(&RotAxis, &RotAxis);
// Create the rotation matrix from the yaw, pitch, and roll values.
D3DXMatrixRotationYawPitchRoll(&matRotAxis, pitch,yaw, roll);
//rotate direction
D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&Direction,&Direction,&matRotAxis);
//Translate up vector
D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&camera[2], &camera[2], &matRotAxis);
//Translate in the direction of player rotation
D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&camera[0], &camera[0], &matRotAxis);
camera[1] = Direction + camera[0];//Avoid gimble locking
D3DXMatrixLookAtLH(&in_viewMatrix, &camera[0], &camera[1], &camera[2]);
