Technical Q&A QD3D40
pointOfInterest

Q: In the Camera TQ3CameraData record, is the position of the pointOfInterest relative to the cameraLocation used for anything apart from the view direction of the camera?

A: No. The pointOfInterest is an absolute position -- it is not relative to anything. As the camera's location changes the camera "turns" to keep the pointOfInterest in view.
