I'm confused on how the PyOpenGL camera works or how to implement it. Am I meant to rotate and move the whole world around the camera or is there a different way?
I couldn't find anything that can help me and I don't know how to translate C to python.
I just need a way to transform the camera that can help me understand how it works.
To say it bluntly: There is no such thing as a "camera" in OpenGL (neither there is in DirectX, or Vulkan, or in any of the legacy 3D graphics APIs). The effects of a camera is understood as some parameter that contributes to the ultimate placement of geometry inside the viewport volume.
The sooner you understand that all that current GPUs do is offering massively accelerated computational resources to set the values of pixels in a 2D grid, where the region of the pixels changed are mere points, lines or triangles on a 2D plane onto which they are projected from an arbitrarily dimensioned, abstract space, the better.
You're not even moving around the world around the camera. Setting up transformations is actually errecting the stage in which "the world" will appear in the first place. Any notion of a "camera" is an abstraction created by a higher level framework, like a third party 3D engine or your own creation.
So instead of thinking in terms of a camera, which constrains your thinking, you should think about it this way:
What kind of transformations do I have to chain up, to give a tuple of numbers that are called "position" an actual meaning, by letting this position turn up at a certain place on the visible screen?
You really ought to think that way, because that is what's actually happening.
