    Question Rotation on Y axis?

    I am working on my own little "world". I have a question. When I am in the center of my world it turns in one spot. But when I move it moves sideways and turns. How do I turn in one spot the whole time?

    First transform from local space to world space. Then transform from world space to aligned space. All of the viewer rotations should be done prior to the transformation from world space to aligned space.
