ADOBE DIRECTOR BASICS 3D: Controlling action The yellow half-cone shows the initial position, the blue half-cone shows the final position The RandomRotation.dir movie creates a yellow half-cone model and places it at the center of the world. Next, it creates an invisible group named “Frame of Reference” and places it at a random position. Then it creates a random rotation in the form of a vector: vector(randomXAngle, randomYAngle, randomZAngle) The red, green and blue half-cones show the positions of the yellow model after its rotation around the x-axis, the yaxis and z-axis respectively. These models illustrate the intermediate steps that would be performed by the command: yellowModel.rotate(xAngle, yAngle, zAngle, frameOfReference) The blue model shows the final position after the rotation is complete. Only one rotation angle You can move the yellow model to occupy the same position as the blue model using a single rotation around a single axis. You can use blueModel.transform.axisAngle to find out which axis and angle to use. For example: vAxisAngle = blueModel.transform.axisAngle put vAxisAngle -- [vector( -0.1681, -0.5940, -0.7867 ), -46.6984] vAxis = vAxisAngle[1] vAngle = vAxisAngle[2] The cyan cone half-cone represents the position of the missing half of the yellow cone, after it has been rotated using the following command: cyanModel.rotate(vector(0,0,0), vAxis, vAngle, frameOfReference) The cyan model and the blue model together now form a single cone. This demonstration shows that the two rotation commands lead to identical results. You can click on the Animate Rotation button to see each step of these two commands played out, one after the other. Using a group to help define a rotation Groups are invisible. You can attach a group to any point of a model, as a child of the model, and then take advantage of the group's transform properties to track how that point on the model moves through space. To see an example of this in action, download the RotationDemo.dir and launch it. Last updated 8/26/2011 211
ADOBE DIRECTOR BASICS 3D: Controlling action The RotationDemo.dir movie demonstrates rotation around three different axes, using a group to help A group is attached to the rear right corner of the box. To tip the box backwards, it is rotated around the group's transform.zAxis. Because the group is a child of the box, its position relative to the box remains constant as the box rotates. The group's transform.xAxis is used next, as the axis for a new rotation. Finally, the box is spun around a vertical axis passing through the group's worldPosition. Using pointAt() to rotate a node To make a node rotate to face at a given point in space, you can use the pointAt command. Define a target using any of the following techniques: node.pointAt(anotherNode) node.pointAt(worldPositionVector) node.pointAt(x, y, z) To see a demonstration of all three techniques, download and launch the movie pointAt.dir.
