It sets the camera position based on the distance from the model, the yaw (rotation about the z-axis), and pitch (rotation about the y-axis). Since you need to know all 3 of those parameters to properly set the camera I figured one function call is better than three that would end up reproducing most of the work of each other.

Sure, just change the OnUpdate function to this:
Code:
local function OnUpdate(self)
    local x, y = GetCursorPosition()
    local yaw = self.yaw + (x - self.x) * INCREMENT_RATIO
    local pitch = self.pitch + (y - self.y) * INCREMENT_RATIO
    if pitch > HALF_PI then
        pitch = HALF_PI
    elseif pitch < -HALF_PI then
        pitch = -HALF_PI
    end
    self:SetOrientation(self.distance, yaw, pitch)
    self.x, self.y = x, y
end

Maybe later. I only played around with this to get a break from my current project which I need to get back to.
