Greetings I have a custom camera object that I use to store position and direction in a vec3 and quat and a matrixd which should contain both. Due to the nature of the software I have to interact with using the osg camera is not an option.
So, once I have the position and rotation I am supposed to use these values to create the matrixd and then feed that into an osg camera. If I simply use matrixd::setTrans the osg camera ends up in the right place. If I use matrixd::setRotate the osg camera ends up facing the correct direction. If I use both, in either order, the camera ends up in the wrong place. Like a 90 degree rotation about an axis. I'm operating under the assumption that the set function for position is the same as moving an object to world coordinates x,y,z regardless of orientation and set rotation is the same as rotating the object around it's local origin. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So, any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong? Thanks for any help. I also apologize if this is in the wrong thread but I thought this would be the place seeing as how I need advice as to the functions to use. soulsabr ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=48058#48058 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
