True Marker Rotations

Post by DemonicSandwich »

True Marker Rotations
This topic has a Quaternion (Quats) calculator to give you proper marker and bone rotations.

Items:
  • Example Video
  • Quats Calculator (post bottom or here)
  • [mode] Plugin (optional, post below)
In order to use the tool you must download and install Java3D from java3d.dev.java.net
Pick the installer package that matches your PC's chipset. For example: I have an Intel Proccessor and Graphics so I installed j3d-1_5_2-windows-i586.exe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example Video
*right-click to save*
Note: To those who want to be a smart ass about my pronunciation: Euler is pronounced (oiler), not (youler).
This video is included to give an example as to how to use the tool. It may not be as in depth as it could be but it was 4am when I did it.

Result of above video:

Wow, I see this after I get the proper rotation for the warthog suspension. This will definitely help with getting the wheel angles right.

If the rotation is determined by the 4-coordinate system rather than the 3, do the normal XYZ coords in the plugin have any purpose?

Oooooooohh...
I was under an incorrect impression, then.

But that makes sense.

I just did a reformat, I installed the software and the app isn't loading.

The funny thing is, being the one to bring this to Demonic's attention and all: I do not even use that tool. Google search Euler to Quaternion...

Since some people (including me) can't seem to get the program to run, I put together a quick app to do the calculations. I don't think the order is needed but if it is I'll add it in.
