Matrix question

Hi.

Excuse for my little english…

I want use matrix to affect only the rotation.

I’ve a simple cube.
I rotate the cube.

When I process the verts of a part of a mesh,
I want apply at this verts the same rotation of the cube,
but not translation ,origin, and size…only rotation

I’ve notice that if I omit the ‘+M[3][x]’ part,
I don’t have the translation.

How to do this?

Thanks,

              Manuel

PS: how I can set the same origin for 2 object ?

-Yes you’re right.M[3][0],M[3][1],and M[3][2] means translation(M[3][3] is =1).If they are zero the object is in the origin.But In the diagonal of the
remained part is included size too.

-You can’t set the origin with the matrix but you have always LocX,LocY and LocZ.

To make one object’s origin = another’s origin try this:

from Blender import Object
Obj1=Object.Get("Obj1")
Obj2=Object.Get("Obj2")
Obj2.loc = Obj1.loc

Thx, but I must transform only a subset of vertex.

This is the code, from Eeshlo (Great Eeshlo!):

# The mesh to be rotated, default Plane
ob = Blender.Object.Get('Plane')
me = ob.data

# The rotation point, an Empty
rotp = Blender.Object.Get('Empty').loc
# translate the rotation point to mesh location
rotp = vecsub(rotp, ob.loc)

# make a rotation matrix,
# as a demo here 10 degrees around Z axis
Rmtx = makeRotMtx3D(0, 0, 10.0*pi/180.0)

# now rotate the points
for v in me.verts:
  # subtract rotation point
  tv = vecsub(v.co, rotp)
  # rotate
  nv = mulmatvec3x3(Rmtx, tv)
  # add the rotation point back again
  nv = vecadd(nv, rotp)
  # v.co is now rotated around rotp
  v.co[0] = nv[0]
  v.co[1] = nv[1]
  v.co[2] = nv[2]
