Class Description

See also
Class Point3, Matrix Representations of 3D Transformations, Class Quat, Class AngAxis, Structure AffineParts, Class BigMatrix.

Description:
This class implements a 4x3 3D transformation matrix object. Methods are provided to zero the matrix, set it to the identity, compute its inverse, apply incremental translation, rotation and scaling, and build new X, Y and Z rotation matrices. Operators are provided for matrix addition, subtraction, and multiplication. All methods are implemented by the system.

Note: In 3ds Max, all vectors are assumed to be row vectors. Under this assumption, multiplication of a vector with a matrix can be written either way (Matrix*Vector or Vector*Matrix), for ease of use, and the result is the same – the (row) vector transformed by the matrix.
Data Members:
private:

float m[4][3];

Matrix storage.

DWORD flags;

Matrix Identity Flags.

POS_IDENT

Indicates the translation row of the matrix is the identity.

ROT_IDENT

Indicates the rotation elements of the matrix are the identity.

SCL_IDENT

Indicates the scale elements of the matrix are the identity.

MAT_IDENT

Indicates the matrix is the identity matrix. This is equivalent to (POS_IDENT|ROT_IDENT|SCL_IDENT).

Member Function Documentation

const Point3& operator[] ( int  i) const
inline
Remarks
Returns a reference to the 'i-th' Point3 of the matrix.
115 { return((Point3&)(*m[i])); }
Definition: point3.h:51
void SetNotIdent ( )
inline
Remarks
This clears the MAT_IDENT flag to indicate the matrix is not the identity. If any changes are made to components directly via GetAddr(), this method must be called.
120 { flags &= ~MAT_IDENT; }
#define MAT_IDENT
Definition: matrix3.h:25
void SetIdentFlags ( DWORD  f)
inline
Remarks
This sets the specified identity flag(s).
Parameters
fSpecifies the identity flag bit(s) to set. See Matrix Identity Flags above.
124 { flags &= ~MAT_IDENT; flags |= f; }
#define MAT_IDENT
Definition: matrix3.h:25
DWORD GetIdentFlags ( ) const
inline
Remarks
Returns the identity flags.
126 { return flags; }
void ClearIdentFlag ( DWORD  f)
inline
Remarks
Clears the specified identity flag(s). See Matrix Identity Flags above.
Parameters
fSpecifies the identity flag bit(s) to clear.
130 { flags &= ~f; }
BOOL IsIdentity ( ) const
inline
Remarks
Returns TRUE if the matrix is the identity matrix (based on the flags); otherwise FALSE.
133 { return ((flags&MAT_IDENT)==MAT_IDENT); }
#define MAT_IDENT
Definition: matrix3.h:25
void ValidateFlags ( )
Remarks
This method may be used to recompute the *_IDENT flags for this matrix. For instance, if you call a method, such as INode::GetObjTMAfterWSM(), and it returns a matrix, you cannot use the IsIdentity() method to check if the matrix is indeed the identity. This is because the flags that method checks are not initialized by the INode method. What you can do however is call this method first. This will validate the flags in the matrix so they accuratly reflect the properties of the matrix. If after calling this method, and then calling IsIdentity(), the proper result would be returned.
MRow* GetAddr ( )
inline
Remarks
Returns the address of this Matrix3.

The Matrix3 class keeps flags indicating identity for rotation, scale, position, and the matrix as a whole, and thus the direct access via the [] operator is restricted to prevent developers from modifying the matrix without updating the flags. This method, GetAddr(), still lets you get at the matrix itself and then you can use the [] operator on the result. Note: If you change the matrix via this pointer, you MUST clear the proper IDENT flags!

Also Note: typedef float MRow[3];
Returns
The address of the Matrix3.
155 { return (MRow *)(m); }
float MRow[3]
Definition: matrix3.h:27
const MRow* GetAddr ( ) const
inline
Remarks

Parameters
iSpecifies the partial column to get (0-2).
void NoTrans ( )
Remarks
This method zeros the translation portion of this matrix.
void NoRot ( )
Remarks
This method zeros the rotation and scale portion of this matrix.
void NoScale ( )
Remarks
This method zeros the scale portion of this matrix without orthogonalization. If the matrix was sheared (skewed) then this method is not able to remove the scale component completely. In that case, use the Orthogonalize() method instead to remove the scale component entirely. Read the SCL_IDENT flag to check whether the NoScale() method was enough to make the matrix to be orthogonal (with perpendicular axes of unit length).
void Orthogonalize ( )

Ortho-normalize the matrix.

This ensures that each axis of the basis is of length 1 and at right angles to the other. This is an "unbiased" orthogonalization, which means that no single axis is used as the basis for the other axis, and all axis will be modified equally.

Note
This is an iterative process, and should not be used in high-performance situations. It seems to take a maximum of 4 iterations to converge.
void SetTrans ( const Point3 p)
inline
Remarks

302 { (*this)[kTrans][i] = v; flags &= ~POS_IDENT; }
#define POS_IDENT
Definition: matrix3.h:22

void Translate ( const Point3 p)
Remarks
Apply an incremental translation transformation to this matrix. This is equivalent to multiplying on the RIGHT by the transform.
Parameters

void RotateX ( float  angle)
Remarks
Apply an incremental X rotation transformation to this matrix. This is equivalent to multiplying on the RIGHT by the transform.
Parameters
angleSpecifies the X rotation in radians.
void RotateY ( float  angle)
Remarks
Apply an incremental Y rotation transformation to this matrix. This is equivalent to multiplying on the RIGHT by the transform.
Parameters
angleSpecifies the Y rotation in radians.
void RotateZ ( float  angle)
Remarks
Apply an incremental Z rotation transformation to this matrix. This is equivalent to multiplying on the RIGHT by the transform.
Parameters
angleSpecifies the Z rotation in radians.
void Scale ( const Point3 s,
BOOL  trans = FALSE 
)
Remarks
Apply an incremental scaling transformation to this matrix. This is equivalent to multiplying on the RIGHT by the transform.
Parameters
sThe scale values.
transIf set to TRUE, the translation component is scaled. If trans = FALSE the translation component is unaffected. When 3ds Max was originally written there was a bug in the code for this method where the translation portion of the matrix was not being scaled. This meant that when a matrix was scaled the bottom row was not scaled. Thus it would always scale about the local origin of the object, but it would scale the world axes. When this bug was discovered, dependencies existed in the code upon this bug. Thus it could not simply be fixed because it would break the existing code that depended upon it working the incorrect way. To correct this the trans parameter was added. If this is set to TRUE, the translation component will be scaled correctly. The existing plug-ins don't use this parameter, it defaults to FALSE, and the code behaves the old way.
void PreTranslate ( const Point3 p)
Remarks
Apply an incremental translation transformation to this matrix. This is equivalent to multiplying on the LEFT by the transform. param p Specifies the translation distance.
void PreRotateX ( float  angle)
Remarks
Apply an incremental X rotation transformation to this matrix. This is equivalent to multiplying on the LEFT by the transform.

void SetRotate ( float  yaw,
float  pitch,
float  roll 
)
Remarks
Sets the rotation components of this matrix using yaw, pitch and roll angles. There are many different conventions for specifying a rotation by means of three Euler angles. This function uses the convention of rotating around the world Z axis, then the X axis, then the Y axis; the three arguments are given in the order Y, X, Z.

This one is equivalent to:

M.IdentityMatrix();

M.RotateZ(roll);

M.RotateX(pitch);

M.RotateY(yaw);

–Which presupposes Y is vertical, X is sideways, Z is forward

Parameters
arrayThe array of vectors to transform with this matrix.
nThe number of vectors in the array.
strideThe size of the increment used when moving to the next vector. If you wish to transform an array of data objects which contain x, y, and z coordinates in order (such as a Point4, or a structure containing a Point3 as a member) you can specify a 'stride' value (for instance sizeof(data_object)).
void TransformVectors ( const Point3 array,

strideToThe size increment used when moving to the next storage location.
void GetYawPitchRoll ( float *  yaw,
float *  pitch,
float *  roll 
)
Remarks
Retrieves the yaw, pitch and roll angles represented by the rotation in this matrix.
Parameters
yawThe yaw rotation angle is stored here (in radians).
pitchThe pitch rotation angle is stored here (in radians).
rollThe roll rotation angle is stored here (in radians).
IOResult Save ( ISave isave)

Save this Matrix3 to disk.

Parameters
isaveThe interface responsible for actually saving the data
Returns
IO_OK on success, or a failure code
IOResult Load ( ILoad iload)

Load the data for this Matrix3.

Parameters
iloadThe interface responsible for actually loading the data
Returns
IO_OK on success, or a failure code
BOOL Parity ( ) const
Remarks
Returns the 'parity' of the matrix. Scaling one axis of the matrix negatively switches the 'parity'. However if you scale two axis the parity will flip back. Scaling three axis switches the parity again.

When rendering a mesh, if you scale something along one axis, it turns 'inside out'. That is the direction when the normals are reversed. This method may be used to detect that case and then reverse the normals. The 3ds Max renderer does this – if this method returns TRUE it flips all the normals so it won't turn inside out.

Matrix3 XFormMat ( const Matrix3 xm,
const Matrix3 m 
)
friend
Remarks
This method is used to build a matrix that constructs a transformation in a particular space. For example, say you have a rotation you want to apply, but you want to perform the rotation in another coordinate system. To do this, you typically transform into the space of the coordinate system, then apply the transformation, and then transform out of that coordinate system. This method constructs a matrix that does just this. It transforms matrix m so it is applied in the space of matrix xm. It returns a Matrix3 that is xm*m*Inverse(xm).
Parameters
xmSpecifies the coordinate system you want to work in.
mSpecifies the transformation matrix.
Returns
Returns a Matrix3 that is xm*m*Inverse(xm).

Member Data Documentation

const Matrix3 Identity
static

An global instance of Matrix3 set to the identity.

An identity matrix has no rotation, scale or translation on it. In other words, it is a matrix that has no effect when multiplied with another matrix.
the structure of the Matrix is as follows:

[1, 0, 0]
[0, 1, 0]
[0, 0, 1]
[0, 0, 0]
