ugh something's wrong here

pressing left goes right

idk and other weird stuff

can't figure it out

de Vries comments at one point on the moving of an object in one direction being the same as moving the camera in another. But I don't know if that's the kind of matrix transform issue you have here or if you just have the matrix being constructed with the wrong direction. There is also the possibility of having a direction vector facing the wrong way. Is this from de Vries or something else you are working on ? I don't recognise this example.

yeah its from deVries

I also copied almost everything from your rubiks cube sample lol I love the modularity

I'm in the lightning chapter, but decided to refactor things to make life easier for me, the cube is rendered fine butttt the camera is not right as you see

ok after some debugging, im pretty sure something's up with my lookat/view matrix

or the onMouseMove movement itself

shit I'm lost, I'll try again tmr 😭

it just looks right

It's like the cube is looking at the mouse position. When it moves off screen to the left are holding the right arrow key ?

Are you trying to use the mouse to rotate the cube ?

noo, I'm just doing exactly like what the author was doing in the tutorials

Ah ok, hmm. So the camera should look toward the mouse pointer ?

typically, yeah

but it's strange

you see how moving the camera looks normal here, its like the camera is moving not the cube

and all what I did is refactor this sample

to this

Oh hang on. How much of the cube code did you take ? I do have a mode where I use the mouse to rotate the cube.

pretty much the the entire SimpleCubeProgram.hx (I also took Program)

MatrixUtils too

that's it i think

None of that should be a problem. The target object is set in the scene

dunno will check again

hx

    public static function onMouseMove(x:Float, y:Float) {
        if (firstMouse) {
            lastX = x;
            lastY = y;
            firstMouse = false;
        }
        sensitivity = 0.1;
        xOffset = x - lastX;
        yOffset = lastY - y;
        lastX = x;
        lastY = y;
        xOffset *= sensitivity;
        yOffset *= sensitivity;
        yaw += xOffset;
        pitch += yOffset;
        if (pitch > 89.0)
            pitch = 89.0;
        if (pitch < -89.0)
            pitch = -89.0;
        var direction:Vector4 = new Vector4();
        direction.x = Math.cos(yaw * Math.PI / 180) * Math.cos(pitch * Math.PI / 180);
        direction.y = Math.sin(pitch * Math.PI / 180);
        direction.z = Math.sin(yaw * Math.PI / 180) * Math.cos(pitch * Math.PI / 180);
        direction.normalize();
        front = direction;
    }

onMouseMove handler looks fine to me 😭

hx
                view = MatrixUtils.createLookAtMatrix(Camera.pos, Camera.pos.add(Camera.front), new Vector4(0.0, 1.0, 0.0));

And updating the view matrix like this

that's literally everything responsible for yaw/pitch camera movement
