How to set defaultCameraController's point of view at SCNView instantiation?

Question

Hello,

I've got a `sceneView` of type SCNView that I create. It has this set like so: "sceneView.allowsCameraControl = true".

Right after that I am trying to set the position like so:

"sceneView.defaultCameraController.pointOfView?.simdPosition = [0.0, 0.0, 90.0]"

However, there is no "pointOfView"!

Where would be the optimal place to set this position? I have it working on a tap gesture recognizer that I use later, but I'd like to set it right after "pointOfView" exists so that when this view is created the proper view position for the user is set.

Answer 1

For others wondering. I found you can explicitly set a node with a camera like so with an initial position:

cameraNode = SCNNode()
cameraNode.camera = SCNCamera()
cameraNode.position = SCNVector3Make(0, 0, 25)
someScene.rootNode.addChildNode(cameraNode)

And then later on your sceneView go:

sceneView.allowsCameraControl = true
