Hi Manfriday

You can find out how to go about creating your third person camera views by looking at the DriveObject.c located in the basic subdirectory of the PR4 Beta 8.

Look at the functions labeled CalculateFollowCam and CalculateUserCam. This should get you started.

The DriveObject program basically gives you a third person view of a sports car using a single or multiple viewports using the D3D pipeline.
