[JAVA3D] Getting the rotation value

[Richard Bone]

Ok.  I’ve looked around the web to find out how to do this but it never seems to work properly. What I want to do is point an object at a wall and create a sphere on the wall where it hits.  This I can do but if I rotate the object, the value I get bears no resemblance to the amount the object has rotated.  Here is the code snippet:   tempTrans2.get(currentRot); currentRot.get(rotValues);   cosAngle  = rotValues[3];                         angle     = Math.toDegrees(Math.acos( cosAngle ) * 2);                         sinAngle  = Math.sqrt( 1.0 - cosAngle * cosAngle );                         if ( Math.abs( sinAngle ) < 0.0005d )                                     sinAngle = 1.0d;                           rotX = (float)(rotValues[0] / sinAngle) * (float)angle; This is based on the info I found on the web. This is due for demonstration at university (as part of a larger project) on Friday so please feel free to respond quickly!
