OrbitControl or TrackballControl

Question

I\'ve read a lot about these 2 controls and currently I\'m using TrackballControls.

I need to rotate an object along all three axis (Both controls already do that),

Answer 1

First of all, TrackballControls and OrbitControls rotate the camera, not the objects.

Second, OrbitControls enforces the camera up direction, and TrackballControls allows the camera to rotate upside-down.

TrackballControls has a reset() method, which restores the target (center of rotation), camera position, and camera up vector to their original settings.

controls.reset();

The above code will restore the original position, target, and up vector. You can change those too, if you want, before you call controls.reset().

controls.position0.set( 0, 0, 10 ); // set a new desired position
controls.target0.set( 0, 0, 0 ); // set a new target
controls.up0.set( 0, 1, 0 ); // set a new up vector
controls.reset();

Read the reset() function source code so you understand what it is doing.

EDIT: OrbitControls now has a reset() method, too. Check the source code.
