[Gambas-user] gb3: OpenGL Rotate and Translate logic

[tommyline at ...2340...]

Ok,

first - you've got perspective range as

Glu.Perspective(45, sWidth / sHeight, -1, 1) <- should be positve and bigger ie. Glu.Perspective(45, sWidth / sHeight, 0.1, 500) or even more if the world is big.

second - you're too low over the ground, thus  the world is kind of "flipped", increase eyez in glu.LookAt().

See it it works, then we can sort out the rest.

It behaves like mad, no matter what origin you set up. Sorry, that's one of the reasons I use perspective mode. I suppose the rotation in 2D is made by rotating world's vertexes, rather than camera, but I can be wrong.

That's it man, now I'm finding out where you live and leaving a bag of 
rotten shrimp in your mailbox. ;)

Alright, I'm done with ortho for now and have switched to perspective. 
Amazingly it worked nearly perfectly on the first attempt but one weird 
thing is happening:

   UpVec1 = Sin(Rad(Camera.Orientation))
   UpVec2 = Cos(Rad(Camera.Orientation))
   UpVec3 = 0

   Gl.MatrixMode(Gl.PROJECTION)
   Gl.LoadIdentity()
   Glu.Perspective(45, sWidth / sHeight, -1, 1)

   Gl.MatrixMode(Gl.MODELVIEW)
   Gl.LoadIdentity()

   Glu.LookAt(Camera.WorldX, Camera.WorldY, 10, Camera.WorldX, 
Camera.WorldY, 0, UpVec1, UpVec2, UpVec3)

It appears as though the scene is being rendered vertically inverted, 
like taking a screenshot and flipping it vertically in GIMP. Moving 
left/right works but moving up/down is backward. I tried experimenting 
with the up vector and eye/center Z parameters for Glu.LookAt with no 
success. I'll continue researching and experimenting but throw me a bone 
if you've seen this before.
