I need to get the world position/rotation of a vector accoding another vector.
This is the same than multiply the two vectors? If so, how can I do that multiplication?

Not sure to understand what you mean by "according another vector" ... ?

Ok, long explanation:

The cal3D models have position(3 float) and rotation(3 float) as ODE elements.
Inside a cal3D model, with a cal3D function, I can get the position(3 float) and rotation (1 quaternion) for a certain bone X at a certain time.

But the values of the bone are relative to the model.
I need to get the world values, not relative, so i guess I have to multiply the initial vector(of the model) by the pos+quaternion of the bone.
It's that correct? If so, How can i do that?

Well well well ... any math skill here ? Someone ? :)

Hello,

You have: ModelPosA as 3 float, and EModelRotA as 3 float wich are absolut.
You have: BonePosR as 3 float and QBoneRotR as 1 quaternion wich are relative to the Model.

You need BonePosA and BoneRotA wich are absolut (world) pos and rot of your bone.

Hope i'm right.

I don't easly deal with quaternion, it's probably bad, but ...
Use ode dQtoR to convert your quaternion to a rotation matrix.

You will have BoneRotR as rotation matrix.

You can use ode dRFromEulerAngles to get ModelRotA as Rotation Matrix form 3 float wich are euler angles.

At this time:
Orientation of your bone is the multiplication of both rotation matrix:

BoneRotA = BoneRotR * ModelRotA // Be carrefull order is important from my memory this is the right order but i may be wrong

BonePosA = ModelPosA + ModeRotA * BonePosR // You will have Bone Absolut position

Ode dGetEulerAngleFromRot return euler angle (as 3 float) from your BoneRotA for example.

It's probably better to make some tests using Maxima or an other math program.

Secondly:
Quaternion seem's to do the same thing as rotation matrix.
So it's probably more efficient to get quaternion of your model and multiply your quaternion (absolut and local) than using rotation matrix.


Have a nice day
Ouille.
