Having problems with ArcRotateCamera after loading 3dsmax scene

[manta1000]

Hi all.

I am quite new to Babylon.js as well as Javascript so I guess this problem I have has a simple solution but I have been trying for a few hours now without success.

 

I have a simple SceneLoader.Load routine to load a 3dsmax scene into my project, the scene contains a few meshes a light and a camera. All I wish to do is implement an ArcRotateCamera using the Betalimit and Alphalimit for restrictions but I can't seem to get it to move at all, so obviously I am doing something wrong, if anyone can point me in the wright direction I would be very grateful.

 

Here is the code I am using.

 

                 BABYLON.SceneLoader.Load("scenes/", "test.babylon", engine, function (scene) {

               

                scene.executeWhenReady(function () {

                

                var camera = new BABYLON.ArcRotateCamera("camera", 130.4, 1.3, 120, BABYLON.Vector3.Zero(), scene);

                camera.attachControl(canvas, true);

                   

                scene.lights[0].intensity = 1.2;

               

               // Add shadows

                var shadowGenerator = new BABYLON.ShadowGenerator(2048, scene.lights[0]);

                

                for (var i = 0; i < scene.meshes.length; ++i) {

                    shadowGenerator.getShadowMap().renderList.push(scene.meshes);

                    shadowGenerator.setDarkness(0.8);

                    

                    scene.meshes.receiveShadows = true;

                    

                };

        

                 camera.lowerBetaLimit = 1.2;

                 camera.upperBetaLimit = 1.4;

               camera.lowerAlphaLimit = 129.9;

                camera.upperAlphaLimit = 130.9;

           

                // Once the scene is loaded, just register a render loop to render it

                engine.runRenderLoop(function() {

                scene.render();

                });

                });

                });

Hey! and welcome!

 

Has your initial scene a camera? if yes then add scene.activeCamera = camera to switch to your camera

 

Other idea: ALpha and beta are radians (between -3.14 and 3.14)

Thanks for replying Deltakosh that seemed to do the trick, I knew it had to be something simple lol, thanks again for your help.
