->getAbsoluteRotation()

[TheC]

This command doesn't exist, so I've been trying to re-create it by extracting the angles from the parents AbsoluteTransformation matrix and somehow combining them with the childs local rotation.

The Matrix methods have ntohing to rotate a rotation vector. So I am kind of stuck at this point.

Thanks,
TC

Have a look at the docu and you'll see how to get the absolute rotation:

Code: Select all

matrix4 mat = node->getAbsoluteTransformation ();
vector3df rot = mat.getRotationDegrees();

and you also can set the rotation:

Code: Select all

matrix4 mat = node->getAbsoluteTransformation ();
mat.setRotationDegrees(vector3df(x, y, z));
