How to properly disable the camera manipulators?

[ghost]

Continuing on the theme of the issue I opened, how can I properly disable the camera manipulators that are built into the samples (I'm starting from the gltf_viewer file)?

I'm trying to add functionality to move the camera to specified positions based on keyboard input. Right now I have the camera changing to the specified positions but it only shows that for a single frame then jumps back to the one forced by the existing manipulators/setup. Commenting out the code related to creating the manipulators causes the original camera position and position it jumps back to but doesn't fix the core issue. How can I do this?

Not all samples use the camutils manipulator, for example the animation.cpp and depthtesting.cpp samples have their own fixed-position cameras.

This was answered by Ben in the original thread: Comment out the following line in the FilamentApp.cpp (I also commented out the Manipulator-related code):

window->mMainCameraMan->getLookAt(&eye, &center, &up);

For future readers, once the camera updates were disabled as stated above, the only thing needed to change the camera position is the following:

app.mainCamera->lookAt(cameraPosition, pointToLookAt);

Where cameraPosition and pointToLookAt are both float3s.
