Transform methods
Use these methods to work with transforms:
Method
rotate
(xAngle,
yAngle, zAngle)
preRotate
(xAngle,
yAngle, zAngle)
rotate
(point,
vector, angle)
preRotate
(point,
vector, angle)
translate
(xIncrement,yInc
rement,zIncremen
t)
Description
Applies a rotation transformation after the current
transformation:
model.transform.identity()
model.transform.translate(100,0,0)
model.transform.rotate(0,0,90)
After this series of transformations, performed in this order, the
model's local origin will be at
parent is the world.
Applies a rotation transformation before the current
transformation:
model.transform.identity()
model.transform.translate(100,0,0)
model.transform.preRotate(0,0,90)
After this series of transformations, performed in this order, the
model's local origin will be at
parent is the world.
Similar to
transform.rotate(xAngle, yAngle, zAngle)
that the arguments are two vectors specifying an axis of
rotation as a point and a vector, plus an angle specifying the
clockwise rotation around that axis:
model.transform.identity()
model.transform.translate(-50,0,0)
model.transform.rotate(vector(100,0,0) vector(0,1,0))
After this series of transformations, performed in this order, the
model's local origin will be at
parent is the world.
Similar to
transform.preRotate(xAngle, yAngle, zAngle)
except that the arguments are two vectors specifying an axis of
rotation as a point and a vector, plus an angle specifying the
clockwise rotation around that axis.
model.transform.identity()
model.transform.translate(-50,0,0)
model.transform.preRotate(vector(100,0,0)
vector(0,1,0))
After this series of transformations, performed in this order, the
model's local origin will be at
parent is the world.
Translates the position of the transform relative to the
transform's current orientation:
model.transform.identity()
model.transform.rotate(0,90,0)
model.transform.translate(100,0,0)
After this series of transformations, performed in this order, the
model's local origin will be at
parent is the world.
