Hello mr. Bergel,

I actually have done something really simple. On the construction of a cube 
shape in WDGeometryBuilder I simply made a method looking as follows: 
WDGeometryBuilder>>#addCubeWithWidth:  height:  depth:  rotatedBy: .
In the method I simply use the angle to compute the rotation when creating 
every single triangle (rotating every point of such triangle with respect to 
the y axis).
It would work smoothly if only few shapes would have been instantiated but 
unfortunately this results in a severe drop of performance since a new shape is 
created for every instance of an object (because the angle rotation is 
different for each shape).
If you still want the code I wrote for such rotation I can provide it to you, 
but probably that's not how proper rotations should be performed in woden.

Hopefully we can find a better solution that doesn't influence performance in 
such way.

Cheers,
Nicolas

P.S. I apologize for the misleading subject of the mail. I am not using 
Roassal3d but I am using a package called Woden-Roassal, which works almost 
exactly like Roassal3d (in fact I guess they are related somehow), that is in 
the Woden project as default. A more appropriate e-mail subject would have 
been: Woden-Roassal (3d object rotations).

Hi Lusa,

Well spotted!
I worked on the connection Woden <—> Roassal3d. I should be able to hook your 
rotation into roassal. Can you provide your fix for the rotation please?

Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi,

I am still working with Woden, in particular with Woden-Roassal and I noticed 
that rotations on objects are missing (I feel that this is weird that it 
doesn't have such feature so I am not excluding that I can be wrong but I 
didn't manage to find anything in the code to rotate objects).

Now if I would like to rotate objects it wouldn't be too bad if I were using 
Woden at his "lowest layer" but I am actually building cubes with Woden-Roassal 
and there I get lost.

I already made some rotations on Woden built arbitrary objects, now I would 
like to extend it to objects built from Woden-Roassal but I honestly miss on 
finding the connection between the two.

I saw that the base shape is built in: RWCube>>#createBaseShapeNode, I would be 
able to build a rotated shape from there but that would result in all shapes 
being rotated in such way since in RWSimpleShape>>#buildRenderableFor:view:  
when we select the shape:
baseShape := aView baseShapeNodeNamed: self baseShapeName ifAbsentPut: [ self 
createBaseShapeNode ].
we would get back the previous base shape defined.

Any suggestions on how to do it?

Cheers,
Nicolas
