quaternions and matrices
« on: February 03, 2010, 08:29:46 am »
for 2 rotations R1 and R2, let Q1 and Q2 quaternion representations and M1 and M2 matrix representations of these rotations. M1 and M2 are row major matrices like jPCT's

does Q1xQ2 represent the same rotation with M1xM2 ?

Only when your familiar with the process. Otherwise it's a major pain in the @$$.

I remember working with Quaternion before. Just glad that jBullet used 3x3 matrices and JPCT matrice while 4x4 seem to work on 3x3 :P
