Orbiting camera vs orbiting DO3D

[Nikos Chagialas-2]

Hi,

I currently use camera.orbit(cameraPitch, cameraYaw % 360); to orbit the camera around an object.

I have now introduced a light and use a PhongShader/ShadedMaterial to apply shading. However, as the camera orbits around the scene, the light orbits with it, therefore always pointing to the same face.

How would I fix the light and orbit the object interdependently?

I thought of making the object orbiting instead of the camera but I couldn't get the same results (i.e. rotationX is relevant to rotationY). 

Any suggestions are really appreciated..

thanks

Should I assume it is not possible then?
