    Question [PV3D] How do you crete object movement inheritance?

    I have a scene where I have a FreeCamera3D aimed at a point using the lookAt() function. I would like to rotate the camera around the target. I figured there must be some way to "parent" the camera to a point so that if I rotate or move that point the camera will move with it.

    I tried by using addChild() to parent the camera to the point but when I move the parent, the camera doesn't move with it.

    Is there any way to accomplish this?

    You can't use addChild() on a camera like that. What you can do is create a empty 'dummy' displayObject3D and 'parent' that. Then in your render cycle sync your camera position to the position of your dummy displayObject().

    Hope that makes sense

    If at first you don't succeed... Try not to look suprised.
