Re: RE : RE : Re: Rotation around Arbitrary axis addition to DisplayObject3D

I think you are trying a very hard way - if you are doing something very simple.
You can send me code I a promise I will not show anyone - and send back just to you if you want..
I think I can do what you want in 2-3 lines of code - no more. After that you can always do any other method :)

Sorry I thing that I don't understand the errors !!  Please ignore the precedent email.

These are the errors:

 

Error1
Attempted access of inaccessible method IDENTITY through a reference with static type

 

Error2

Call to a possibly undefined method calculateMultiply through a reference with static type org.papervision3d.core:Matrix3D. DisplayObject3D.as 
 

Moon Moon <moon_pv3d@...> a écrit :

I copied and pasted the following method, there is two errors, the first one is that IDENTITY is not a method so we have to put: IDENTITY instead of IDENTITY().

The second is :

calculateMultiply !!!!!!  It doesn't find this method !!

Hi all,

I couldnt find a better way to do this, so i went ahead and added it into my DisplayObject3D class.

It rotates any DisplayObject3D around another DisplayObject3D (including itself) on any give axis... it basically replaces rotation. ( i saw that there was some little hack-together people had to use to achieve the same effect).

Below is the addition to displayObect3D, link to an example, and usage.
