Im thinking about moving about in a scene that I have made and I was wondering is their any ingenious way of controlling and moving about the camera to be flexible and easy ? or do I have to rely on putting in a planned function to rotate and translate about the place being a tad bit restrained and awkward ?

look at gluLookAt()
its an easyer and more simple way of moving around...

Hmmm I really should look at GLUT.
Unfortunatly Im using basic windows code.
