When you want someone to pan, set a free camera’s position to the orbit camera’s position. Then set the scene’s camera to the free camera and call whichever free camera function you need.

Cool, I’ve implemented it on my test page, it rocks!

Thanks for the code.

I add an other question. If we’re in orbit camera mode, can we Pan the camera ?

Maelvon, I posted the new Orbit Camera demo which uses the 1.1 version of our library.

Hi Maelvon, I don't think the demos posted use the OrbitCamera. But since you're asking, I'll post a demo of it's use sometime this week.

As I didn’t find the zoom() proto, I’ll copied the zoom proto from this example in the last library, and it works. But, I should look at the goCloser() and goFurther() methods, as you say.

Thanks for the response, and for the great library.

Do you have an example of the use of goFurther() and goCloser() ?

Hi Maelvon,

To ‘zoom’ in and out you should use goCloser() and goFarther() methods of the OrbitCamera. At one point I wanted to use just one function, zoom(), but thought it might be a bit vague. Does zoom with a positive value move closer or father away? There shouldn’t be any zoom() prototype in the library if you have the latest one. Make sure you get the latest from the Downloads page.

Hello, I’ve tryied this code in the last Canvas3D library, and in “orbitcamera.js” the zoom prototype doesn’t exist! I’ve only found yaw and pitch, is that normal ?
