I'm trying to get a rotating cube to respond to the mouse location.

I want it to behave like the example here:

I can easily set the rotation for x or y based on the mouse position relative to the center of the cube.

The problem is the way the rotations interact is causing an undesirable tumble effect in certain arrangements.

I really want to change the axis of rotation to always be parallel to the monitor or perfectly vertical, no matter how the cube is rotated.

I know I'm missing something obvious.

Should I be rotating the object, the world, the camera, or what?

Can I set the axis of rotation? If so, should I (must I?) use the rotation interpolator?

I'm sure there is some trick to this.

Any insights appreciated.

Cheers,
Bruce

Hi,

THe best thing is to store the euler angles. You increment them depending of your mouse mouvement, and you set the rotation trought euler angles. It provide a smoother rotation that the one I used for th online demos.

I did a test with that, I should retrieve it. Meanwhile you can play in that direction
