[Papervision3D] - Issue camera.unproject & camera.ortho ?

[Tim Knip]

Hi,

When a camera is in ortho-mode the camera internally switches to
Camera3D#useProjectionMatrix = true;

In revisions earlier then rev. 907 unproject does not work when
Camera3D#useProjectionMatrix = true;.
Now, if you have a revision of PV3D earlier then r.907, then this
might be your lucky day :-)

Just updated #unproject to work with Camera3D#useProjectionMatrix = true;
So, please update from svn to get latest rev.

NOTE: to make things complicated #unproject works _differently_ with
Camera3D#useProjectionMatrix = true / ortho = true;
You need call #unproject 2 times :

var a : Number3D = cam.unproject( screenX, screenY, 0 );  //
intersection with near plane
var b : Number3D = cam.unproject( screenX, screenY, 1 );  //
intersection with far plane
var ray : Number3D = a.substract( b );

This constructs a ray 'shooting' into the scene.
Let me know if this works for you (cause, o shame: did not test ortho-mode yet).

Tim
