manipulate camera bound to orbit controls

[mzhng]

Is it possible to manually update the position and rotation of a camera that is bound to an instance of OrbitControls? I believe in the original threejs implementation, one can call controls.update() after updating the camera to make it work properly, but it seems the update method is not available in pythreejs.OrbitControls. I can update the camera's attributes and see the change in the displayed scene, but when I click on it, it seems the orbit controls take over again and reset all changes I applied to the camera.

For version 1 beta: Normally you would do this via camera.quaternion or camera.rotation. There are also the utility functions rotateX/rotateY/rotateZ, lookAt and setRotationFromMatrix. Again, these are all on the Camera instance.

For older: You can manipulate camera.quaternion, or use the utility function quaternion_from_rotation or look_at.

Does this answer your question?
