Rorating Around A Vector
2003-05-19 03:03
I have used the following page:
https://www.euclideanspace.com/maths/algebra/matrix/orthogonal/rotation/index.htm
for the algorythm to enable rotation around a Vector. I am currently aware
that my Matrix maths base functions as I can rotate around each individual axis,
and scale specific axis without issues. However, with the vector rotation, there
seems to be a massive scaling factor, as the object baloons to a rediculous
size.
I am assuming that If i draw the Vertex that I am using as the axis, it will
lie through the origin of the triangle / matrix. My algorythm is as follows
(And I know all the sub methods work).
static public Matrix VectorRotate(Matrix M, Vector V, double A) {
double x,y,z;
x = ((Double)V.get(0)).doubleValue();
y = ((Double)V.get(1)).doubleValue();
z = ((Double)V.get(2)).doubleValue();
Matrix Rotate = new Matrix(new double[]
{ (1+(1-Math.cos(A))*(x*x-1)), (-z*Math.sin(A)+(1-Math.cos(A))*x*y), (y*Math.sin(A)+(1-Math.cos(A))*x*z),
(z*Math.sin(A)+(1-Math.cos(A))*x*y), (1 + (1-Math.cos(A))*(y*y-1)), (-x*Math.sin(A)+(1-Math.cos(A))*y*z),
(-y*Math.sin(A)+(1-Math.cos(A))*x*z), (x*Math.sin(A)+(1-Math.cos(A))*y*z), (1
+ (1-Math.cos(A))*(z*z-1))});
return Multiply(M,Rotate);
}

Neatened Version:
(((1-Math.cos(A))*(x*x)) + Math.cos(A)),
(((1-Math.cos(A))*(x*y)) - (z*Math.sin(A))),
(((1-Math.cos(A))*(x*z)) + (y*Math.sin(A))),
(((1-Math.cos(A))*(x*y)) + (z*Math.sin(A))),
(((1-Math.cos(A))*(y*y)) + Math.cos(A)),
(((1-Math.cos(A))*(y*z)) - (x*Math.sin(A))),
(((1-Math.cos(A))*(x*z)) - (y*Math.sin(A))),
(((1-Math.cos(A))*(y*z)) + (x*Math.sin(A))),
(((1-Math.cos(A))*(z*z)) + Math.cos(A))});
I am using a 3x3 matrix for this process.

The algorithm that you are using assumes that Vector V is unit length.
If it is possible that this is not unit length then you should normalise it first.

I do not understand why this causes scaling..
If i input a vector of 0,0,0. The matrix shrinks slowly. Any value above 1.00X
causes the matrix to explode by a few hundred % per second.
While it does rotate around the desired axis, the scaling is unrequired, and
I don't know why?
Should I be using a 4x4 matrix for this?

Normalise the polygon? or the Vector?
Gona experiment with the Vector 1st :)

Normalise the vector which is input to this method, ie you could start your method like this:
static public Matrix VectorRotate(Matrix M, Vector V, double A) {
double x,y,z;
x = ((Double)V.get(0)).doubleValue();
y = ((Double)V.get(1)).doubleValue();
z = ((Double)V.get(2)).doubleValue();
double n = Math.sqrt(x*x + y*y + z*z);
x /= n;
y /= n;
z /= n;
The reason I did not do this is that I assumed for axis-angle the axis would already be normalised.
Thank you to the person who sent the neatened version, Ill include that on the website if thats alright?
On the other question, a 4x4 matrix is only required if you want to include a linier translation as well as a rotation (such as when you are rotating about a point other than the origin (see message from Tristan).
Cheers
