[Papervision3D] camera: hover to orbit struggle

[aWink]

Hi don...thx 4 replying...

with quaternion is just the way I solved the issue
With Andy Zupko's new blogitem about this subject (http://blog.zupko.info/)
I came on the idea to use this 4 my problem...and it worked. I was able to
calculate the angle and distance to the planes in my object....

With a little moderation I was able to solve it...may be it can help u
2.....

once again..thx
