need and implementation of matrix.createFromAxisAngle
Did you google "axis angle matrix" and look at the first hit (wikipedia)?
Rotation matrix from axis and angle
For some applications, it is helpful to be able to make a rotation with a given axis. Given a unit vector u = (ux, uy, uz), where ux2 + uy2 + uz2 = 1, the matrix for a rotation by an angle of ? about an axis in the direction of u is
EDIT: For a 4x4 matrix the bottom right corner will be 1 and the other entries on the 4th row and column will be 0.
Get a hold of reflector so you can see how the Xna framework does it...
public static Matrix CreateFromAxisAngle(Vector3 axis, float angle)
{
Matrix matrix;
float x = axis.X;
float y = axis.Y;
float z = axis.Z;
float num2 = (float) Math.Sin((double) angle);
float num = (float) Math.Cos((double) angle);
float num11 = x * x;
float num10 = y * y;
float num9 = z * z;
float num8 = x * y;
float num7 = x * z;
float num6 = y * z;
matrix.M11 = num11 + (num * (1f - num11));
matrix.M12 = (num8 - (num * num8)) + (num2 * z);
matrix.M13 = (num7 - (num * num7)) - (num2 * y);
matrix.M14 = 0f;
matrix.M21 = (num8 - (num * num8)) - (num2 * z);
matrix.M22 = num10 + (num * (1f - num10));
matrix.M23 = (num6 - (num * num6)) + (num2 * x);
matrix.M24 = 0f;
matrix.M31 = (num7 - (num * num7)) + (num2 * y);
matrix.M32 = (num6 - (num * num6)) - (num2 * x);
matrix.M33 = num9 + (num * (1f - num9));
matrix.M34 = 0f;
matrix.M41 = 0f;
matrix.M42 = 0f;
matrix.M43 = 0f;
matrix.M44 = 1f;
return matrix;
}
Don't forget this depends on the axis parameter being unit length.
