[Papervision3D] Camera around / following object

[nospam at therossman.org]

Actually this list needs the spirit of:

"hey guys i SEARCHED/GOOGLED THIS FIRST and i couldn't find anything to
help me, do you have any ideas?"

instead of your approach which is:

"i didn't do anything to help myself, can someone just spoon feed me
everything i need?"

come on dude show a little initiative.

i think i speak for most people on this list, when i say, i don't mind
helping people out but you have to AT LEAST TRY on your own first.
