getting the perspective i want
Post: #16dave05 Wrote:1. should my eye location be at or before znear? since my znear is 10, I'm thinking maybe eye_pos = {0,0,0} (wouldn't the area of the FOV at 0 distance from the "eye" be 0?)
The eye can be anywhere, zNear is the distance from the camera clipping will take place.

// DRAW THE USER INTERFACE !!!
Sir, e^iπ + 1 = 0, hence God exists; reply!
