Hi riemer,
I went through your tutorials and I understood them, but I have a silly question, how do you know were to position the camera, this takes me ages to get it right.

Well it depends what are you looking at. If the scene contains an important object you should set the position of the camera anywhere at a distance of 10 ... and you set the lookAt the middle of your mesh. If you are looking at a terrain you should be  about 1/3 the max height and facing infron of you between 45 , 60 decrees but .... these things realy doesnt matter.

These are just my opinion. They can be any way you like them
