Hi I'm sure there is a very simple solution to this problem, but i cannot see it, so im posting it in this board:
I have a model made in max 8 that has a bone where the camera is going to be placed, ive exported this model using panda .x exporter. i created a sphere and glued it to the limb and that works fine however as soon as i try and position the camera to the sphere the camera appears in what i think is the middle of my world, not where it should be!
Heres the part of my code that has the problem, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

question: you have two bones or one in your model?

bonejoint 1 sits inside your sphere

Hi the model has one bone. one end is attached to the model and the other end is where darkbasic glues the limb, is this wrong as the sphere still gets glued there its just the camera thats the problem. Thanks for your post

EDIT: Just thought id mention that i am using the newton dll to control the model as a car, which is why conventional camera positioning is not working, the camera wouldnt stay behind the car id end up facing the sides or bonnet when going round my track!
