3D orbitControl allowing +-90 degrees not enough.

Increasing Access

It would be nice to be able to observe an object from ALL angles.

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• Accessibility
• Color
• Core/Environment/Rendering
• Data

Feature enhancement details

I'm rotating a Rubik's cube and I can't turn to all angles. I would like to have the position in the image available for all top colors. I can only get the blue color on top, unfortunately. Maybe this is unsolvable, considering the mouse only has two dimensions. In that case, maybe the scroll wheel could be used for the third dimension.
Turning the cube upside down is impossible. (The blue face downwards)

function setup() {
    createCanvas(500, 500, WEBGL)
}
 
function draw() {
    background("#000")
    orbitControl(4, 4)
    rotateX(1)
    rotateY(1)
    rotateZ(1)  
    console.log(rotationX,rotationY,rotationZ)
    box(100, 100, 100)
}

It seems one dimension is restricted to +- 90 degrees.
The second dimension has no restrictions at all.

Your use case makes sense, thanks for reporting this! In the mean time, maybe try using the p5.EasyCam library as an alternative form of orbit control: https://github.com/freshfork/p5.EasyCam

@davepagurek Can I start working on this?

[davepagurek]

Thanks @AryanKoundal! I'll assign this to you.
