Camera movement in motion

Troubleshooting General Help
1

Hi there!

Recently I started with my first game project as I’m pretty new to game development. My project so far is going quite well but I do want to add a feature to my game which I have no idea to do.

I have a CameraNode called cameraNode, in one stage in the game it rotates on the X-axis so that it looks at a different direction. But what I want the camera to do is, is that it should rotate in a motion kind of way and not in a jump motion so that it looks like if someone real rotates or moves the camera.

I did use the ‘lookAt’ method and I though using ‘rotate’ would have worked but it didn’t. If anyone can help me then I will greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

Have a control or app state.

Set the desired position in the control/app state.

Each frame move from current position towards desired position using tpf to decide how far to move…

You can find some trick on my camera implementation : http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/forum/topic/an-rpg-third-person-camera/

The current camera is for an Xbox controller but you can still find some of the mecaninc behind motion camera system
