Relative Vector. Software: Away3D 4.x

chandings, Newbie Posted: 27 September 2012 10:23 AM Total Posts: 6 Hi all, I am sure what i am asking is a very silly question but if I could get a quick answer it would be great. I have a rigid body (body) in my away physics world. now i want to apply a central force to it in the y direction relative to the body. `var force:Vector3D = new Vector3D(0,100,0) body.applyCentralForce(force);//This would work fine if body has no rotation //But i need to get a method to transform a vector from global to local and //local to global` Please help me how to do it.
macaan, Newbie Posted: 27 September 2012 01:17 PM Total Posts: 30 [ # 1 ] you can use the inverseSceneTransform object to translate from world to model space. in your case something like forceLocal = bodyMesh.inverseSceneTransform.transformVector(force);
John Brookes, Moderator Posted: 27 September 2012 01:52 PM Total Posts: 732 [ # 2 ] You can also use up,front and right from the rigidbody. var f:Vector3D = body.up; f.scaleBy(100); body.applyCentralForce(f);
