Hi Paul;
Thanks for your reply. I have tried your suggestion but there is some wierd.
carMT->computeLocalToWorldMatrix(carWorldMatrix, NULL);
carDirection = carWorldMatrix * osg::Vec3d(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
This code gives me the direction vector, but vector gives me the mirrored
direction by the x axis. I mean when I rotate my car 45 degrees around the Z
up, given direction vector as -45 degrees rotated around the Z. So I get the
mirrored coordinates.
Best regards,
