BABYLON.UniversalCamera acts as a BABYLON.ArcRotateCamera

Questions

Hey everyone,

I’m totally new here, so forgive me if my question seems a bit basic!

I’m looking to build a camera that functions just like an ArcRotate Camera but without relying on the predefined BABYLON.ArcRotateCamera. I’ve been experimenting with the BABYLON.Universal camera, but I can’t seem to find any examples for it.

If anyone knows of a playground link or has some advice on how to do this, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks a bunch!

Hey! why do you want to have the behavior of an ArcRotate without using the ArcRotate?

Thank you for the reply.

Basically, I want to give multiple behaviour to the single camera instance. Like, using First-Person camera & ArcRotate camera using single universal camera instance. And toggle their behaviours on key press event.

ok so my link is the right one: It helps you see how you can add / remove input modes to a camera

I have reviewed the document provided.
However, given my limited experience with BabylonJS, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with a brief example via a Babylon Playground link.
This would greatly help me understand how to implement it.

Thank you for your assistance.

It is literally all in the doc :slight_smile:
You have plenty of examples on the right column:
