DESCRIPTION

This engine takes as input a three dimensional floating-point vector and a transformation matrix. The vector is assumed to be a row vector.

The engine multiplies the vector by the matrix and returns the result in the output point. The output direction contains the result when the matrix multiplication assumes the vector is a direction, and therefore ignores the translation part of the matrix. The output normalDirection contains the normalized direction

INPUTS

SoMFVec3f vector

Input row vector.

SoMFMatrix matrix

Input transformation matrix.

OUTPUTS

(SoMFVec3f) point

Vector transformed by matrix.

(SoMFVec3f) direction

Vector transformed by matrix, ignoring translation.

(SoMFVec3f) normalDirection

Normalized direction.
