Thanks Jared,
I have tried the transformations.py script, and here is what I've got:
- I get a quaternions from external source (a 3d manipulator) in a
classical form: [x,y,z,w]
- I use function: quaternion_matrix(quaternion) from transformations.py
script:
m = quaternion_matrix([x, y, z, w]) # m is an array of an arrays (4x4)
M = [m[0,0], m[0,1], m[0,2], m[0,3], m[1,0], m[1,1], m[1,2], m[1,3],
m[2,0], m[2,1], m[2,2], m[2,3], m[3,0], m[3,1], m[3,2], m[3,3]] # so i
need to convert it to a vector 16x1
cmd.transform_selection("all", M, homogenous=1) # its time to apply the
vector into a transform_selection function; homogenous=0 also doesn't work
print M # print works fine ;)
But the function transform_selection does not work and I don't really know
why, rotation doesn't occur.
Maybe it's because the selection is wrong? On the scene I have a CGO (an
arrow) and even when I change the selection string from "all" to "arrow" it
doesn't rotate either.
What exactly is the "selection", could this be a CGO?
I have also noticed, that function cmd.rotate(...) works for my CGO "arrow"
when I set property object="arrow" and I put some arbitrary "hardcoded"
parameters (axis and angle).
Maybe the better way would be use this function?
But I'm not really sure which function from transformations.py script
should I use to convert quaternions to axis and angle params required by
cmd.rotate() function...
any ideas?
Cheers,
Pawel T.
