00077: feature to allow driving from rotation matrix recorded in TRICK data
Summary: feature to allow driving from rotation matrix recorded in TRICK data
Created: 2008–04–09 11:05
Status: Not an Issue
Category: Request
From: frankie
Version: 1.1
Released_In:
Description:
Currently, any single variable in a trick data file can be mapped to x, y, z, pitch, yaw or roll of a node.
It might be neat if a collection of nine variables (3×3 array) making up a rotation matrix could be mapped in the API file to the PYR of a node in the scene.

frankie April 09, 2008, at 12:38 PM: WORKAROUND: While this feature is not directly available, you can do this with a fairly simple tcl script to convert your rotation matrix to PYR angles. See this article explaining how to do this.
Since it is much more preferrable to record euler angles, and since there is a workaround available, I'm going to mark this as Not An Issue unless someone convinces me there is enough of a need to move this into the simdata plugin itself.
