Functions

MatrixF createOrientFromDir (Point3F &direction)

Creates orientation matrix from a direction vector. Assumes ( 0 0 1 ) is up.

Point3F randomDir (Point3F &axis, F32 thetaAngleMin, F32 thetaAngleMax, F32 phiAngleMin=0.0f, F32 phiAngleMax=360.0f)

Creates random direction given angle parameters similar to the particle system.

void getAnglesFromVector (VectorF &vec, F32 &yawAng, F32 &pitchAng)

Returns yaw and pitch angles from a given vector.

void getVectorFromAngles (VectorF &vec, F32 &yawAng, F32 &pitchAng)

Returns vector from given yaw and pitch angles.

void transformBoundingBox (const Box3F &sbox, const MatrixF &mat, const Point3F scale, Box3F &dbox)

MatrixF MathUtils::createOrientFromDir ( Point3F & direction )

Creates orientation matrix from a direction vector. Assumes ( 0 0 1 ) is up.

Creates random direction given angle parameters similar to the particle system.

The angles are relative to the specified axis. Both phi and theta are in degrees.

void MathUtils::getAnglesFromVector	(	VectorF &	vec,
		F32 &	yawAng,
		F32 &	pitchAng
	)

Returns yaw and pitch angles from a given vector.

Angles are in RADIANS.

Assumes north is (0.0, 1.0, 0.0), the degrees move upwards clockwise.

The range of yaw is 0 - 2PI. The range of pitch is -PI/2 - PI/2.

ASSUMES Z AXIS IS UP

void MathUtils::getVectorFromAngles	(	VectorF &	vec,
		F32 &	yawAng,
		F32 &	pitchAng
	)

Returns vector from given yaw and pitch angles.

Angles are in RADIANS.

Assumes north is (0.0, 1.0, 0.0), the degrees move upwards clockwise.

The range of yaw is 0 - 2PI. The range of pitch is -PI/2 - PI/2.

ASSUMES Z AXIS IS UP

void MathUtils::transformBoundingBox	(	const Box3F &	sbox,
		const MatrixF &	mat,
		const Point3F	scale,
		Box3F &	dbox
	)
