I am creating a Monogame first person shooter game, at least learning to do such and I have hit an issue that I cant seem to figure out. I have a first person camera with mouse + keyboard input, and a floor that I can move around over, so essentially a basic “3d world”.
Now I wanted to draw a 3D model of a ball at the locations 0, 10, 0 (or anywhere really) but when I move around my camera, the ball stays in place, center of my camera and moves with me.
Does anyone know the issues? I have a camera class and trying to draw my model within the game class. I think it is something to do with me using multiple matrix’s?

Thank you for any help.
Oh, and if I uncomment the effect.world = world, then the ball doesn’t draw at all.
