Axis

Hello Everybody

I just wanted to check. Does Torque uses Right Hand Coordinates.

Positive X to the Right
Positive y is up.
Negative Z is into the screen.

Is that correct.

Also,

I am working with a camera, so for the camera everything works backwards correct. :)

The question I have is there a lookat with the camera. I would like the camera always looking at (0,0,0) and have the camera translated (0,0,5) points away from the origin.

I would like to be able to have the camera travel around the y axis and have it travel a 1/4 of a circle around the x axis while still having the camera looking at 0,0,0.

Thanks, Ben

Actually Torque uses a bastardized coordinate system, in my opinion.
That is the z-axis is up/down and the y-axis points into the screen.

Ahh, that would explain the weird results I was getting. So possitive Y is into the screen.

Thanks, Ben
