Urgent help needed in scripting
Hey folks, I have a task. I need to export some geometries from XSI, and create an XML file that contains the local translate and rotation. That's fine. But it turned out, that the application reading this data accepts transformation in Z-up system (a la Max, goddamn). I swapped the Y and Z for position and seemed to work, but for rotation it's not working. My export script is vbscript, but I have little clue. What I read so far is that I might have to rotate the transformation matrix around X axis by 90 degrees. Fairly well, but HOW THE HECK??? I'm open to learn math, anytime, but now it's deadline...

Re: Urgent help needed in scripting
I'm not 100% sure what you need exactly, but this will make a Transform object that's been rotated 90 degrees around the world centre in X. __ m_data = [1.0, 0.0, -0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0] matrix = XSIMath.CreateMatrix4() matrix.Set(*m_data) trans = XSIMath.CreateTransform() trans.SetMatrix4(matrix) obj = Application.Selection(0) # --replace as you see fit obj_transform = obj.Kinematics.Global.Transform obj_transform.MulInPlace(trans) print obj_transform.RotX, obj_transform.RotY, obj_transform.RotZ __ On 16 January 2014 09:41, Szabolcs Matefy szabol...@crytek.com wrote: Hey folks, I have a task.

Re: Urgent help needed in scripting
Just guessing, but maybe you have to change the rotationorder aswell.
For the AfterFX exporter I did way back, I created a helperObject (null) that I
set to the AFX rotationorder, match the object transform, and the export the
values from the helper:
This is the python snippet:
helper.kinematics.local.parameters('rotorder').Value = 5
helper.kinematics.Global.transform = obj.kinematics.Global.transform
rotX = helper.kinematics.local.rotx.Value
rotY = helper.kinematics.local.roty.Value
rotZ = helper.kinematics.local.rotz.Value
hope that helps somehow!
