SetWorldTranslation & SetWorldRotation?

Development
1

I just noticed there are no methods for setting the world translation and rotation, only the local translation and rotation. Maybe you could add them.

2

You actually should never set any of the world fields (bounds, transforms, etc.)  These are created and maintained by the scenegraph based on your local values.

Is there a way so I can convert world translations into local translations? maybe something like this:

worldTranslation.substract(localTranslation);

there are Spatial.worldToLocal() and Spatial.localToWorld() which you can use to convert between local and world positions.



for example, this is how i set the Location of my ChaseCam.


camNode.getLocalTranslation().interpolate(target.localToWorld(
                                  new Vector3f(0, yDistance, zDistance), null),
                                  0.3f);



that way the Cameras position is set to the Targets World position with a y and z offset.
