define these: float accumMatrix[16]; float m3dx[16]; float m3dxNew[16]; 1. initialize accumMatrix to identity 2. generate a rotation matrix (m3dxNew) from the pRotation data that comes from the sensor. 3. multiply m3dxNew and accumMatrix to produce m3dx 4. assign m3dx to accumMatrix 5. use the accum...

I have rotation in our new application working well. Moving the puck causes rotation in the corresponding axis. Now, I want to provide an option so that rotation mimics our Catia. That is, rotation of the puck causes rotation of the models about the axis that are aligned with the screen. ie. rotatio...

You were correct. I created a matrix to accumulate the rotations from the 3d device and apply it during each redaw and it works great. I have also implemented the panning and zooming using the translation parameters. Thank you for your assistance.

I read the values from the device and assign to local values in the function as seen here. ra3 = pRotation->Angle * 60.0; rx3 = pRotation->X; ry3 = pRotation->Y; rz3 = pRotation->Z; If I use ra3 in the function directly, the model rotates fine except that when I let go of the cap, the model recenter...

I have scaled the angle so that the rotation works great initially. The problem comes when reversing the cap which changes the axis value from +1 to -1 for example on the Y axis. The accumulated angle remains the same at that point but the object immediately rotates to the opposite direction because...

We use the mouse for 3D navigation in Catia V5 and it works great. We are now trying to apply it to an in house application. I have the SDK and can read the translation and rotation values in the new program with no problem. The device sends the normalized x,y,z rotation vector and angle about the v...
