How to program an arcball (orbiting) camera in Unity using spherical coordinates

Posted on by nerdhutblog

A while ago, I wrote this article about a simple implementation of an Arcball camera in C++. In it, I described how that could get done without using Quaternions, spherical coordinates, or a lookAt function. Anyway, just out of curiosity, I decided to create a minimal implementation of an orbiting arcball camera in C# using spherical coordinates.

Visit this page for a Unity3D example using spherical coordinates.

I recently had to implement a drag and drop camera feature for a college course. The OpenGL program, we had to submit, had to contain a camera that can be controlled by moving the mouse around. The camera itself should always look at a fixed point in the 3D space while being rotated on two different axes like it’s stuck to the inside of a sphere.
