Transform

Every SceneObject has a transform which stores the object position, rotation, and scale in the scene. These items are then put together to create a model matrix which represents the object.

Class Transform

Fields

• vec3 position
  • Use Accessors GetPosition() and SetPosition()
• vec3 rotation
  • Use Accessors GetRotation() and SetRotation()
  • note: Rotation is currently stored as a 3D vector, however, for full rotational functionality, using a Quaternion based system should be considered
• vec3 scale
  • Use Accessors GetScale() and SetScale()
  • scale affects the size of the object when rendered
• mat4 model
  • Use Accessor GetModel(); model matrix cannot be edited directly;
  • This is the objects model matrix used for rendering
