Rotate mesh on drag to mimic arcRotateCamera

Hi all!

I searched the forum but did not find an aswer.

I'd like to rotate a mesh on drag. It would look pretty much like if I was using and ArcRotateCamera, but I need a fixed camera.

As anyone tried something like that yet? Another option would be to attach my background to the camera and copy the rotations, making it look like the background is fixed,  but I can't make it work.

Any ideas would be amazing!

Thx a lot!

Hi, 

 

You can try that : http://babylonjs-playground.com/#1QPOEL

Look closer at : 

 var onPointerMove = function (evt) {
        if (!startingPoint) {
            return;
        }

        var current = getGroundPosition(evt);

        if (!current) {
            return;
        }

        var diff = current.subtract(startingPoint);
       // currentMesh.position.addInPlace(diff);
	// new line added
		currentMesh.rotation.y += diff.x/20;
        startingPoint = current;

    }

Hi Samuel, thx for your answer!

I tried something similar, using mstate instead of pickInfo, and using mesh.rotate() to allow rotations on local axis. It kinda works! 

var diffX = mstate.x - this.startX;
var diffY = mstate.y - this.startY;

this.engine.skate.rotate(BABYLON.Axis.Y, -diffX / 20, BABYLON.Space.LOCAL)
this.engine.skate.rotate(BABYLON.Axis.Z, diffY / 20, BABYLON.Space.LOCAL)

I'll try to add some inertia now!
