>Interesting, won't you get speherical warping?
Yep, I'll have problems with spherical warping. I've been looking at
various of the standard world map projections as possible being useful
here. I do know that I won't end up with a standard rectangular
viewport (or a mercator).
> or are you saying by moving the camera back?
Nope. The camera will either be about 3' behind the bodies head, or
I'll take a 1st person PoV for the viewer (some internal debate -- the
two are very closely related). I tend to prefer the behind the head
(transparent head) approach with the camera always looking "forward"
and stationary with respect to the body. It adds a little of the
flavour of the body being able to turn its head to the viewer.
Aside: the latest version of 3D Mario Bros has possibly the worst
handling of camera postion I've seen yet. Watch thw demo sequence by
the moat/lake for a glaring example.
