Camera should chase the buggy at a fixed height #1

Closed lazd closed 11 years ago

The camera should always be behind the buggy, chasing it at a fixed Y height. The camera should follow the buggy's Y rotation, but not X or Z.

This has everything to do with Euler order: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/835

This is good enough for the moment, closing this issue for now.
