Camera, What are you trying to do!?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The camera at the beginning of the game does a wacky thing.  Today I found out 
from other team members that the camera is trying to do an animation -- a 
smooth ease in to the character.  I think this is a wonderful idea, but it 
doesn't work.  If you notice what the camera really does is freaks out quite a 
bit until an animation of the camera is done going through.

My question is for Dr. Shomper, is there actually a camera animation that you 
are aware of that is going on?  There is no use trying to find something that 
doesn't exist.  I vote that if this does exist, we remove it until we find a 
better way of doing this.  I think what is happening is it is trying to clean 
up stuff from the model loading, plus trying to do this animation, and it just 
kills the fps of the game at the beginning.

I am not aware of an "ease in" animation.  I'm not saying that none exists, 
just that I'm not aware of any deliberate attempt to do this.

Okay, this is good to know.  Is there a maint. manual that the team created 
(like the one we will turn in at the end of the year) that I may be able to 
look at?  This would apply to this issue as well as the other issue (speed 
optimization).

Problem Solved.  I found where this does this and changed it from true to 
false.  Eventually I would say we would want this, but for now, it is not a 
huge priority.  I will commit later tonight.
