ok. This is just a question about positioning my objects.
so i have my ship positioned on the screen:
ship.setPos(0,42,0)
and the camera is supposed to be behind it (and it is)
base.camera.setPos(0, 0, 0)
what i cant understand is why it is behind the ship if the playership’s y axis value is 42… shouldnt it be the z axis affected?
In Panda, by default, the Y axis is forward, and the Z axis is up (and the X axis points to the right). This is called a Z-up coordinate system, specifically a right-handed Z-up coordinate system.
Other common coordinate systems are right-handed Y-up and left-handed Z-up. There is no one universal convention that everyone agrees on.
