Strange camera rotation for rotating station
To whoever it concern,
I first want to thank the team that made Algodoo, it is one of the most interesting program I ever came across.
I have a request/question.
I am constructing a stanford torus (rotating station) that use centrifugal acceleration to simulate gravity. It works like a charm! (I can join the scene if it is of interest to anyone)
There is only one major problem I came across: when I make the camera follow an object on the rim of the rotating station. (follow rotation) the screen makes a very peculiar rotational motion around the targeted object, where I would expect/want to keep that object at a particular position on the screen.
Is there something I can tweak to have that type of camera keeping the object at a fix point on the screen as it rotates?
I wouls really appreciate any help regarding this!

Re: Strange camera rotation for rotating station
You could add invisible low mass object at point you want always be at screen center, glue it to your item and link camera with rotation to it.
Dream of Algodoo as game development engine...
