Hi, I’m looking to get the rotation angle of the camera(universalcamera) to an object back in degrees. So basically if the camera is facing the object the angle would be 0 and if its to the left it would return 90 or 270 etc. I would like to get the value in realtime and then use this value for oth…

[image] Liam8mail: if you would elaborate on that point of setting the y component of all vectors to zero i would greatly appreciate it. [image] Liam8mail: Is there a way to have the values only apply on the horizonally? So not taking into account weither the camera rotates upwards or dow…

Hey and welcome! so technically, here is the idea: your “0” is the vector (0, 0, 1) in the camera world Your “Target” is the vector from your object to your camera: so mesh.position.subtract(camera.position) So the angle you are looking for is the angle between “0” and your target Thanks to trigo…

Thank you!! I tryed it out and i’m getting the angle as i move around the object but not if I rotate my view away from the object. So i’m looking to get the angle the camera is looking to the object. If im looking directly at the object it would be 0 and i rotate the camera 90degress left then if …

Maybe you could repro what you have in the playground? Far easier to discuss with code to repro:)

https://playground.babylonjs.com/#LG0NUQ Here is an example. So i’m looking to the get cameras axis rotation angle relative to the sphere. So weither it is looking at the object or to what degree away from the object.

Hey Deltakosh, Thanks so much! This is more in line with what i was thinking. It might be possible to do what i’m thinking with these return values. Although because there is no difference in the values from when I rotate to the left from the centre or to the right from the centre I can’t enough in…

Hi again, So this works for a mono pan but not stereo. Is it possible to get a 360 degree angle value at all and have it based horizontally only. So based only when the camera moves around horizontally and disregard the vertical rotation of the camera or am I out of luck? The most important thing i…

What if you store the current camera rotation and then compare it with previous value. This way you will know where you are in your sections?

https://playground.babylonjs.com/#LG0NUQ#4 I modded the example you give me. the xvalue in the console log gives the correct values that i want for panning but obv does not return correct values when the camera is repositioned in the space by moving around the object. But it’s giving me a full 360…

for the sake of it, will that work better: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#LG0NUQ#5 Using world location
