Hi, see if this works Basically you need to compute the transformation matrix that represents the rotation from a specific point ("vertex" in your case). That can be generally done by matrix composition m1*m2-1*transform*m2. Where m1 is the matrix of the object you want to move, m2-1 is th

I've been searching for hours, but didn't find anything: I want to rotate my object around some point on the surface (vertex). But instead of setting the rotate pivot to this point, I want to calculate the transformation of my object, as if it would have a parent-child relationship, so basically
