enhancement - additional cameras points of view #54
Description
@IBAction func switchToDefaultCam(sender: AnyObject) {
gameView.makeCameraActive(scene.defaultCam)
}
@IBAction func switchToShoulderCam(sender: AnyObject) {
gameView.makeCameraActive(scene.playerCam)
}
@IBAction func switchToSkyCam(sender: AnyObject) {
gameView.makeCameraActive(scene.skyCam)
}
@IBAction func switchToCoffeeCam(sender: AnyObject) {
gameView.makeCameraActive(scene.coffeeCam)
}
getting the geocentric point of view working - it occurred to me that people could potentially want to change their point of view to anywhere in the universe.
having a variety of camera positions could be useful to toggle interstellar points of views (while allowing arkit to do it's thing with point of view).
some views I'm looking to create
-
earth street view / 1st person / horizon
this requires a tilt calculation
https://github.com/op1000/EarthTravel/blob/master/EarthTravel/Classes/EarthTravelViewController.m#L1045 -
Saturn street view
one call thing would be to transport user to Saturn and to be able to see many moons flying above. -
Saturn moons
-
earth azimuth / user's current location
etc
thus far I have this
https://github.com/johndpope/solarSystem-1/tree/master/SolarSystem
// |_ cameraHandle
// |_ cameraOrientation
// |_ cameraNode
it's not working as I'd like
func renderer(_ renderer: SCNSceneRenderer, updateAtTime time: TimeInterval) {
focusOnEarth()
}
func focusOnEarth(){
if (cameraNode != sceneView.pointOfView){
print("👀 - making cameraNode the sceneView.pointOfView ")
sceneView.pointOfView = cameraNode
}
if let cc = camCoords.getCameraCoordinates(sceneView: sceneView){
cameraHandle.position = SCNVector3(cc.x, cc.y, cc.z - 1)
// sceneView.scene.rootNode.addChildNode(node)
}
// print("earth position:",earth?.position)
var pos = earth?.position
pos?.z = -1
cameraHandle.position = pos!
sceneView.pointOfView?.position = cameraHandle.position
sceneView.pointOfView?.rotation = cameraHandle.rotation
// sceneView.pointOfView?.position = zoomedOutEarthCameraPosition!
/*sceneView.pointOfView?.position = cameraHandle.presentation.position
sceneView.pointOfView?.rotation = cameraHandle.presentation.rotation
sceneView.pointOfView?.orientation = cameraHandle.presentation.orientation*/
}
