[osg-users] 【NEWBIE】Question about osg::MatrixTransform::getMatrix().getTrans() and getRotate()

[Wojciech Lewandowski]

Hi Jiechang,

Few observations:

1. You write you want rotation around Y axis (0,1,0). But you rotate around
Z axis (0,0,1). Btw there are osg::X_AXIS = (1,0,0) , osg::Y_AXIS =
(0,1,0), osg::Z_AXIS = (0,0,1) constants defined in OSG which you may
directly.
2. What is the origin variable in your example ? This is probably the other
matrix which you premultiply and it influences your results.
3. Values stored in quaternion fields are rather non intuitive. I suggest
you just make simpler experiment. Set quaternion variable directly with
osg::Quat quat( Angle, Axis ). For example as osg::Quat quat( osg::PI_4,
osg::Z_AXIS) as you do in your example. And then examine under debugger
what constructor does and whats actually stored on 4 fields of Quat. Those
numbers won't be the same as the ones you passed to constructor. And thats
correct. You will find a plenty of info on Quaternions on the web. Look for
them if you need to learn more.
4. This line probably has wrong order of transformations -->
model1->setMatrix(origin*osg::Matrix::translate(-Center)*
osg::Matrix::rotate(osg::DegreesToRadians(45.0), 0, 0,
1)*osg::Matrix::translate(Center));
I suppose you rather want to make it like this --> model1->setMatrix(osg::
Matrix::translate(-Center)*osg::Matrix::rotate(osg::DegreesToRadians(45.0),
0, 0, 1)*osg::Matrix::translate(Center)*origin);
Reason for this is OSG uses row major matrices, so if you want to transform
vertex by matrix you do it like this: result = vert * matrix. Thus your
origin transform should be multiplied as last transform.

Hope this helps,
Wojtek Lewandowski
