[Rock-dev] [RFC] Proposal for a new default camera manipulator in Vizkit3D

[Steffen Planthaber]

Hi,

We used to have the MatrixManipulator enabled in vizkit (allowing to 
switch camera moced by number keys).

I think we can make your Manipulator the default, but add the "old" to 
another key so users can easily switch modes.

Btw. I finally started to merge the 3d visualization of vizkit3d and 
rock.simulation which ->could<- lead to a replacement of the OSG 
subsystem in vizkit3d and also the camera manipulator handling. (which 
will be capable of switching camera modes).


Best, Steffen
