Detailed Description

Class IPoint3, Class DPoint3, Class Matrix3.

Description:

This class describes a 3D point using float x, y and z coordinates. Methods are provided to add and subtract points, multiply and divide by scalars, and element by element multiply and divide two points.

This class is also frequently used to simply store three floating point values that may not represent a point. For example, a color value where x=red, y=green, and z=blue. For color, the range of values is 0.0 to 1.0, where 0 is 0 and 1.0 is 255. 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:

float x, y, z;

The x, y and z components of the point.

This is equivalent to Point3(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

This is equivalent to Point3(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
