# CameraModel2

VTKExamples/Cxx/Visualization/CameraModel2

### Description

This example illustrates the camera movement centered at the camera position.

Note

For camera movement around the focal point see CameraModel1.

Note

This example corresponds to Figure 3-13 in the VTK Text.

Note

This is an adaptation of the code written by Chung Kai Lun Pete.

### Download and Build CameraModel2

Click here to download CameraModel2 and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball CameraModel2.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

    cd CameraModel2/build

If VTK is installed:

    cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

    cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

    make

and run it:

    ./CameraModel2

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
