Transformation Matrix Keys

Tue, 06/23/2009 - 12:38 — dominic

Hi,

Is there no way to export the keyframes as transformation matrices instead of translation, rotation quaternion and scaling? I really miss this, there are other exporters which support that feature but none of them export everything correctly like kw x-port.....

You can easily turn the SRT

You can easily turn the SRT into matrices on the importing side. The reason kW X-port doesn't export matrices is because that is almost never the right choice -- to do proper animation interpolation with matrices, you'd have to de-compose them to SRT, then interpolate, and then re-create matrices, which is a lot more work than just starting with SRT in the first place.
