Inicial direction of the camera and can't look up

[fariazz]

I'm having trouble setting the initial direction of the camera:  http://static.pablofarias.com/plane/  The camera always points down when loading the scene. I've changed the camera.direction property but that also changed the location of the camera. I'm using a free camera.

 

Also, the camera can't look up, it can only look down and to the sides.. not sure how to allow it to look up.

 

Any help would be appreciated!!

The camera seems to be functioning properly - moves up/down right to left as you move the mouse.

 

Is the rest of the scene set up properly?

Looking at it again,  a plane is created vertically (see picture tutorial 02 ). Did you rotate the plane so it lies on the ground?

plane.rotation = new BABYLON.Vector3(Math.PI / 2, 0, 0);

 That may explain why it looks like the camera is pointing in the wrong direction.

Thanks Gryff! I hadn't realized the Y axis pointed upwards. I thought x and y where on the floor and Z was the verical axis.

You may use CreateGround instead if you want it horizontally
