Is it just me or is it slower to move the camera vertically than horizontally after the last patch? I don't like that.

That might be the case, I am not sure. Please post in the camera feedback thread.

gimbal lock avoidance


there is another way of dealing with that. You persist the rotation matrix between frames and only apply relative rotations to it (delta between current state and new state). Don't forget to normalize the rotation matrix once per tick or it will break real fast. Gimbal lock would only occur if you would rotate 90 degrees per frame, and you don#t want to do that anyway. Now you can have gimbal lock free rotation while using only "highschool" math and without complex numbers.

(i might have forgotten something since the last time i wrote things like that was like 15 years ago, OpenGL FTW)


Couldn't you also solve this by simply adding an additional directional vector?

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...
