I'm trying to rotate an object around both X, Y, and Z axis, but it's not working. intead it's only rotating around the last axis rotation requested. For example: ' I want to rotate on the Z and X axis so I... vTemp.Z = 0 vTemp.Y = 0 vTemp.X = -20 ' Rotate on Z axis DX.RotateZMatrix MatrixCube1, Angle.Z * Rad TranslateMatrix MatrixTemp, vTemp DX.MatrixMultiply MatrixCube1, MatrixCube1, MatrixTemp ' Now rotate on X axis DX.RotateXMatrix MatrixCube1, Angle.X * Rad TranslateMatrix MatrixTemp, vTemp DX.MatrixMultiply MatrixCube1, MatrixCube1, MatrixTemp DX.RotateXMatrix came last and so it's the only rotation observed, anything done before the last rotation command is completly tossed out. What am i doing wrong? [Edited by - Waxy on April 25, 2005 11:10:38 PM]

Typo in the message

Could be gimbal lock. Look into quaternions for rotation.

I figured it out.
Above, MatrixTemp is the view matrix. but i've renamed it MatrixView for
refrence sake. Now i create a temporary matrix - (MatrixTemp)

Each time i change Matrix Cube1 i store it in Matrix Cube 2 -
execept for the first time, where i also include the viewing matrix
(I haven't tried this yet with a free camera)



For I = 1 to ubound(MatrixCube())

Now i need to figure out how to clear a matrix so that I can loop it -
to draw MatrixCube(I) to allow multiple objects in an array w/o having to have
multiple MatrixTemp's.
