Change Camera Defaults

[FengHouzi]

Is there an addon that anyone knows of, or a command, that will raise the camera? Instead of it focusing on the head, maybe a few inches above so there isn't so much ground between your character and the bottom of the screen. That way more of the ground ahead is in view, not so much what is behind your character.

You can set your own Camera presets with these /console commands:

I don't think that's what he's asking for.

In the game the camera "looks at" (in the glLookat() sense) a point on your characters head, he'd like to move that look-at point to something else (say, a point 25% of your character's hight above their head, or a few yard in front of your character).

You cannot modify that using the WoW API so an addon can't do that for him.

Set/Save view just allow you to store the position of the camera (say, 30m behind the character, facing the side of their head), but it will always be looking at the same point on the character model.

Actually you can modify it, you just don't have the reference to call it on the player's character model.
