Hey guys, just got gmax and im designing a little map. Everything is going pretty smoothly, just have one question... How do you move the camara around? Not as in the X, Y, or Z vertices, but as in moving it freely without altering those.

In other words, i want to move the camera, not the model itself.

Thanks!

that's zoom in and out, and if i click it it's just up and down/left and right

No, that's not what i mea... i want to be able to turn 360 degrees, not just move the map...

Like get inside what i've done, and look around it moving the "camera" (what im looking in the monitor) around. not the map itself, but the "camera" from one point being able to move it 360 degrees around.

Up key= start camera movement & move forward
Down key=move back
Right key=move right
Left key=move left
Shift+Up Key= Up
Shift+Down=Down
Look around=Left click + hold and move mouse around

thats sapien i think he means how to you turn the camera in gmax.

Yes, that's what i mean. not the model, but the camera.

Ctrl + middle mouse button to rotate the camera in gmax.

i had to open up gmax again to remember, been forever since i used it lol.

That is not sapien, that is 3ds Max, which is basically the same as gmax. Sapien is like movement in halo, W=forward, S=back, a=left, d=right, r=up, f=down. If gmax is completely different than 3ds, then im wrong, but i doubt that would be changed.

he did not want the sapien controls..he wanted to know how to rotate the camera in GMAX, not sapien. the info i gave him is correct.

This^^ is not sapien.



This ^^ is. The reason why i posted that is here:



If you look at my first post, I stated how to do that. Except, what I posted was how I turn the camera in 3ds Max, because I have that and not gmax. I posted that under the assumption that 3ds and Gmax are basically the same, aside from the exporting and other minor things. So if my way does not work at all, then thats the reason. BTW, i tryed ctrl+middle mouse to rotate in 3ds, it only panned around the viewport and not rotated it. Do we understand each other now?

That doesn't work. Thanks though.

Caboose117 no problem here buddy, i think we both jus were confuseing each other. sorry about that lol

Its perfectly alright. And sorry it didnt work, like i said, I use 3ds, and I guess they changed something as small as that... Retarted way they made that program(Gmax)...
