Hi.
Few years ago i created small multiplayer car racing game in TGE. That game was played with few of my friends but mostly with my kids.
Now I am trying to recreate that game on T3D, and have a question...
1.Is it possible to rotate 3rd person cam?
I am trying to create fixed cam, almost Isometric view that will follow vehicle. At the moment cam is too low, when I set cameraoffset I can get camera higher but center of view is not vehicle anymore.
I was looking in RTS tutorial, but i don't want to control the camera, just fixed one, but in custom position.
Is it better to use some other camera mode for that?
Game will have only vehicles. so at the moment I don't need firstperson cam at all.
Camera should be pointed something like this:
*+
**+
***+
****+
****CAR
Thank you for any suggestion.
