Some questions about a camera

General Discussion

hello everyone. :astonished:
from a picture below

There are a camera and a point that the camera is looking at.
I want to move the camera closing to the point on the planeXY following a black line.
Does it use normalizing? Please show me some code…

Thank you :wink:

I don’t know how you want to move it there, so I use interval :

from pandac.PandaModules import Vec3
import direct.directbase.DirectStart
from direct.showbase.DirectObject import DirectObject

def goThere():
    if camHprIval.isPlaying():
       return
    # vector from camera to smiley
    vec=smiley.getPos()-camera.getPos()
    # approaches until 90% of the distance
    dist=.9
    camera.posInterval(.5,camera.getPos()+vec*dist, blendType='easeOut').start()
    DO.ignoreAll()

DO=DirectObject()
DO.acceptOnce('space',goThere)

smiley=loader.loadModelCopy('smiley')
smiley.reparentTo(render)
smiley.setPos(10,70,5)

camera.lookAt(smiley)
camHprIval=camera.hprInterval(1,camera.getHpr(), Vec3(0,0,0), blendType='easeOut')
camHprIval.start()

base.disableMouse()
run()

press space to start it.
