Re: [Visualpython-users] changing camera position

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

I think what you want is

scene.center = vector(0,1,3) # or simply (0,1,3), which will be 
converted to a vector
scene.forward = scene.center-vector(0,4,-6)

Since you're familiar with Povray, you might be interested in the 
VPython-to-Povray converter available in the contributed section of 
vpython.org.
