Method Detail

loadData

public void loadData(ChunkChopper chopper)

Loads the local coordinate system for the current mesh.

Overrides:

loadData in class Chunk

Parameters:

chopper - the ChunkChopper containing the state of the parser. The location of the local coordinate system is defined relative to positions and rotations at frame 0. But the orientation is absolutely defined. With either 3x3 or 4x4 rotation, translation, there is a simple relationship between each matrix and the resulting coordinate system. The first three columns of the matrix define the direction vector of the X, Y and Z axii respectively. If a 4x4 matrix is defined as: | A B C D | M = | E F G H | | I J K L | | M N O P | Then the direction vector for each axis is as follows: X-axis = [ A E I ] Y-axis = [ B F J ] Z-axis = [ C G K ]
