after some time of thinking and screwing around with trig functions, I finally figured how to make camera follow your model and rotate the same way your model is rotating ...
Angle is Model rotation, and Distance is variable you can change in the game if you want to have zoom-in and zoom-out functions ...
anyway, enjoy, hope you'll find it useful
Code: Select all
App.CameraPosition.X = CurrentModel.Position.X - ((-1) * sin((angle)*2*pi) * Distance);
App.CameraPosition.Z = CurrentModel.Position.Z - ((-1) * cos((angle)*2*pi) * Distance);
App.CameraRotation.Y = 1 - angle ;
