object free rotation

Started by
10 comments, last by L. Spiro 14 years ago
Hello, everyone I'm confused trying to apply free rotation for my objects, i've done it for my cameras, but i dont know how should i do it with objects, at the moment i have: 

void hxObject::Yaw ( float angle )
{
	yaw += angle;
	while ( yaw > 360 )
		yaw -= 360;
	while ( yaw < 0 )
		yaw += 360;
	angle = D3DXToRadian ( angle );
	D3DXMATRIX T;
	D3DXMatrixRotationAxis(&T, &up, angle);

	// rotate _right and _look around _up or y-axis
	D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&right,&right, &T);
	D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&look,&look, &T);
}
void hxObject::Pitch ( float angle )
{
	pitch += angle;
	while ( pitch > 360 )
		pitch -= 360;
	while ( pitch < 0 )
		pitch += 360;
	angle = D3DXToRadian ( angle );
	D3DXMATRIX T;
	D3DXMatrixRotationAxis(&T, &right, angle);

	// rotate _up and _look around _right vector
	D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&up,&up, &T);
	D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&look,&look, &T);
}
void hxObject::Roll ( float angle )
{
	roll += angle;
	while ( roll > 360 )
		roll -= 360;
	while ( roll < 0 )
		roll += 360;
	angle = D3DXToRadian ( angle );
	D3DXMATRIX T;
	D3DXMatrixRotationAxis(&T, &look, angle);

	// rotate _up and _right around _look vector
	D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&right,&right, &T);
	D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&up,&up, &T);
}
void hxObject::Move ( float units )
{
	units /= 10;
	pos += look * units;
}
void hxObject::Strafe ( float units )
{
	units /= 10;
	pos += right * units;
}
void hxObject::Fly ( float units )
{
	units /= 10;
	pos += up * units;
}
i think this code is right isn't it? well, i don't know how to render it, i have the following variables to describe the object's location/angle: 

	D3DXMATRIX WorldMatrix;

	D3DXVECTOR3 up;
	D3DXVECTOR3 right;
	D3DXVECTOR3 look;
	D3DXVECTOR3 pos;

	float yaw, pitch, roll;
how should i make the world transformation for the object? thanks in advance -Hassan

i have the following render now:
	D3DXMATRIX mpos, scale, mx, my, mz;	float posfactor = 10;	if ( scaleFactor == 2000 )		posfactor = 0.5;	D3DXMatrixTranslation ( &mpos,  pos.x/posfactor, pos.y/posfactor,  pos.z/posfactor );	D3DXMatrixRotationX ( &mx, D3DXToRadian ( pitch ) );	D3DXMatrixRotationY ( &my, D3DXToRadian ( yaw ) );	D3DXMatrixRotationZ ( &mz, D3DXToRadian ( roll ) );	D3DXMatrixScaling ( &scale, fScale/scaleFactor, fScale/scaleFactor, fScale/scaleFactor );	WorldMatrix = scale * (mz*mx*my) * mpos;	MainCore->GetDevice()->SetTransform ( D3DTS_WORLD, &WorldMatrix );


but the look/right/up vectors messes up sometimes
Sorry for bumping,

any help?
You can use D3DXMatrixRotationYawPitchRoll to build your matrix out of angles.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb205361(VS.85).aspx

Or if your camera class is using right/look/up vectors, use that but an inversed view matrix makes it world.

what do you mean? also, i'm trying to get object free rotation, not camera, if i use yawpitchroll, i can't have right/up/look vectors, which means i cant make functions such as move/fly/strafe.
Maybe you should rotate you matrix as you wish, and keep track of global world space vectors like this
D3DXVec3TransformCoord(&globalRight,&VECTOR3(1,0,0), &objectMatrix);

Then strafe your matrix position along that vector.

About the camera, if you are already using a camera which is working with vectors, use that for your objects, but inverse the view matrix to make it world space.
works weird,

my source:
//render        D3DXMATRIX mpos, scale, rot;	float posfactor = 10;	if ( scaleFactor == 2000 )		posfactor = 10;	D3DXMatrixTranslation ( &mpos,  pos.x/posfactor, pos.y/posfactor,  pos.z/posfactor );	D3DXMatrixRotationYawPitchRoll ( &rot, D3DXToRadian ( yaw ), D3DXToRadian ( pitch ), D3DXToRadian ( roll ) );	D3DXMatrixScaling ( &scale, fScale/scaleFactor, fScale/scaleFactor, fScale/scaleFactor );	WorldMatrix = scale * rot * mpos;	MainCore->GetDevice()->SetTransform ( D3DTS_WORLD, &WorldMatrix );		D3DXVec3TransformCoord ( &right, &D3DXVECTOR3 ( 1, 0, 0 ), &WorldMatrix );	D3DXVec3TransformCoord ( &up,    &D3DXVECTOR3 ( 0, 1, 0 ), &WorldMatrix );	D3DXVec3TransformCoord ( &look,  &D3DXVECTOR3 ( 0, 0, 1 ), &WorldMatrix );//------void hxObject::Yaw ( float angle ){	yaw+= angle;	while ( yaw > 360 )		yaw -= 360;	while ( yaw < 0 )		yaw += 360;}void hxObject::Pitch ( float angle ){	pitch += angle;	while ( pitch > 360 )		pitch -= 360;	while ( pitch < 0 )		pitch += 360;}void hxObject::Roll ( float angle ){	roll += angle;	while ( roll > 360 )		roll -= 360;	while ( roll < 0 )		roll += 360;}void hxObject::Move ( float units ){	pos += look * units;}void hxObject::Strafe ( float units ){	pos += right * units;}void hxObject::Fly ( float units ){	pos += up * units;}


first off, if i use D3DXMatrixRotationYawPitchRoll, it works right ONLY if i yaw, pitch then roll in order, but if my object, for example, rolls before turning, the rotation goes wrong, so turning does not work at all

and moving is even worse, my object moves in the same curve whether i strafe, move or fly, and it cant move to positive positions ( curve is from 0 to -[INFINITY] )

i suppose my code is wrong? please correct me if it's wrong

also, i think i'll try that inverse thing, so i should use the exact same code as my camera for objects, but inverse the fine (view) matrix?
got it working at last ( even tho it's not "neat" ), thanks solenoidz for your tip, never knew that view matrix is world matrix's inverse, i did it and it worked just fine.

thanks once again.
I'm glad you got it working.
The up,right and front vectors are part of the first 3x3 submatrix of your 4x4 matrix.
Now, out of curiosity, instead of inverting the view matrix of your camera class and apply that as a world matrix to your object, just transpose it, not invert it. [smile]
Could be faster tahn inverting to my understanding.
Assuming, you are not using non-uniform scaling.
oh well, i'm happy with it now, works fine with scaling and stuff, this is what i have now, someone might find that of some use
