I’m trying to export faces for a package that ‘kind of’ supports 3d…as in 3d postcards, so position, rotation and scale in 3d and that’s about it. faces are drawn in 2d.
If I have a face in 3d, how can I get it’s rotation on x y and z,
‘unrotated’ so that all vertices on one dimension have value 0 ?
I’ve tried to understand this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix#Rotation_matrix_given_an_axis_and_an_angle
but I don’t think I got it, or I don’t use it properly.
Here’s a test
import Blender
from Blender import *
import math
from math import sin,cos,radians,degrees
def getRotMatrix(n):
c = cos(0)
s = sin(0)
x2 = n.x*n.x
y2 = n.y*n.y
z2 = n.z*n.z
l1 = x2+(1-x2)*c, n.x*n.y*(1-c)+n.z*s, n.x*n.y*(1-c)-n.y*s
l2 = n.x*n.y*(1-c)-n.z*s,y2+(1-y2)*c,n.x*n.z*(1-c)+n.x*s
l3 = n.x*n.z*(1-c)+n.y*s,n.y*n.z*(1-c)-n.x*s,z2-(1-z2)*c
m = Mathutils.Matrix(l1,l2,l3)
return m
scn = Scene.GetCurrent()
ob = scn.objects.active.getData(mesh=True)#access mesh
out = ob.name+'
'
#face0
f = ob.faces[0]
n = f.v[0].no
out += 'face: ' + str(f)+'
'
out += 'normal: ' + str(n)+'
'
m = getRotMatrix(n)
m.invert()
rvs = []
for v in range(0,len(f.v)):
out += 'original vertex'+str(v)+': ' + str(f.v[v].co) + '
'
rvs.append(m*f.v[v].co)
out += '
'
for v in range(0,len(rvs)):
out += 'rotated vertex'+str(v)+': ' + str(rvs[v]) + '
'
f = open('out.txt','w')
f.write(out)
f.close
And here are a few outputs:

hints ?
