For some reason the camera wont set up like I want it to. I want the camera to be positioned 0,0,-500 and then create spheres that are located at 0,0,0 but for some reason:

1) The camera wont move back or wont show my objects

2) The object appears higher than it should be.

#include "DarkGDK.h"





See attached image for screenshots.

Its too close.

Even after changing the camera distance its still too close.

Edit: See attached image and code in the background. The sphere should be centered but its not.

Edit: It seems that if the camera position code is above the sphere creation code then the camera doesn't move. If the code is below, them the camera is not centered.

Edit: Seems like the camera needs to be pointed at 0,0,0 to center the sphere and the code must be after the spehere creation code.

ReiKumar,

I think the problem is that you need to turn off Autocam.

dbAutoCam command? Not sure exatcly as I don't generally use the GDK.

By default, whenever you create a new object DGDK will position the camera automatically to center on the new object. dbAutoCam should prevent this behaviour and leave the camera wherever you place it.

The function you want to use is dbAutoCamOff(). Call it right at the start of your program.
