Orbital camera around an object

Mutos

Hi all,

I'm trying to make an Orbital Camera, that is, revolving around an object with simple controls. I use arrows for the Latitude and Longitude, and mouse wheel for zooming in/out.

Is there somewhere a builtin function to get the proper rotation and position of the camera from Longitude and Latitude ? I can find the maths and code them, but as this is quite a common need, I think there should be a shortcut for that, nut I can't find it in the documentation.

Thanks for any answer or even hint ^-

Hi nunodonato,

Thanks a lot for this, I didn't have the slightest idea it was possible this way, but that's neat and efficient !
