Is it possible to rotate a camera on it's y axis? Like if you wanted to have a roll effect? I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be, but between dir, loc, rotatex and rotatez I don't see any way to do it. Thank you!

Just use the _SIO2camera->_SIO2transform->rot->y and Bind the matrix again...

SIO2 helped me out... here is a method that works:

glPushMatrix();
glRotatef( DESIREDANGLE, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f );

then render the camera, and finally

glPopMatrix();

uhm... the method above updates the view, but not the direction the camera is moving.
How can we achieve an effect like rotatex method does?

the direction will stay the same you are rotating around a fixed axis...

You are right. Sorry, my mistake Very Happy in the last two days I was trying to implement my personal camera class, the same that I use in other projects on other platforms and so I'm a little confused Smile
What is not so clear is why the y axis is not treated like other axis i.e. the exporter from blender seems to not export it and there isn't a special function to rotate the camera on that axis.
But as stated above in other posts it's possible to achieve easily all the rotations.
Sorry again and happy coding!
