Woden - Rotate an Object from absolute referential

Hello everyone,

I am currently making a little demo with woden and I would like to rotate a cube, not from the relative referential but from the absolute one ( rotate X always rotate in the same direction even if I previously have rotated Y ).

What currently happens is that when I rotate the cube, the referential rotates as well...

Does anyone know how to counter this ?

Thanks

Merwan

Hello Merwan,

Currently is not possible because the only way to represent rotations is to use a matrix. I have to add support for quaternions, which gives me an opportunity to also add Euler angles.

When I add support for Euler angles, you wil be able to do what you want easily.

Currently, you have to use node orientation: (WDMatrix3 xrot: angle) to achieve what you are trying to do.

Greetings,

Ronie
