Dear all,
I am currently working on vtk tool, where I need to adjust the camera
position from a given sketchup rendering. So, I have a sketchup camera
[1] and I need to export their values and import them in a vtk
camera[2]. So, this question is not actually about the data transfer
itself, but on the data conversion.
I think, the eye, target and up vectors of sketchup are sufficient to
describe the camera, since target includes distance and, thus, zoom. Is
that correct? But, how do I convert these values to vtkCamera?
My first guess:
eye --> setEyePosition
ViewUp -->setViewUp
target-pos --> setFocalPoint
But the result looks wrong. Any better ideas?
kind regards,
curator
