OpenGL - 3D Player Position?

[JGooler]

Just a quick question.

I've been working with the opengl extention, I can get a "3D" world going and move around in it, but the player seems to run really low to the ground (kind of like a rat, lol). Is there a way to have the "camera" aka player to be off the floor more. If so how could that be done?

Thanks in advance,

Hey. Just so you know, OpenGL is very hard to use and pretty advanced, an easier 3D extension is in development.

You can either use the "Translate" action in the "Matrix" subgroup.

For example,
Translate 0,-1,0
Draw cube

would draw a cube at an Y offset of 1 (The Y axis is inverted in OpenGL).

Note: You would barely see the cube because it's directly below the "camera". You need to specify a negative Z offset to place the camera in front of the object.

There also is a "Look at" action if you want to turn the camera towards a coordinate.

Thanks for the information.
