Hey All,
I'm having a particularly vexing rotation problem. I want to be able to
rotate around multiple axes simultaneously. Currently, I perform the
multiple rotations by creating 3 Transform3D's, and using rotX(xAngle) on
one, rotY(yAngle) on another, and rotZ(zAngle) on the third. Then I
multiply the 3 together in the order xTransform*yTransform*zTransform. This
works fine. Unless....
Say yAngle is 90 degrees. Then, due to the order of the rotations given
above, rotations about x and z have the same effect- they both rotate about
the z axis.
I believe the way to solve this may be to use the AxisAngle object to set
Transform3D. If I can form orthogonal vectors, and use AxisAngle to rotate
around them, wouldn't this work? Or would there be a more efficient (ie
faster) method?
Thanks,
Evan Drumwright
