Camera rotation error during Blender Export

[JulienGobin]

Maybe related to this first problem : http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/3159-quaternionrotationyawpitchroll-parameters-and-toeulerangles-result-should-be-the-same/



When i try some rotation-exportation from blender to babylon i found a problem. Here my scene in blender :

As you can see the camera is not looking toward the object. but when i import the full scene on babylon js i can see this :

Looking deeper in the .babylon it seems that the exporter set a target on the camera (and not a rotation ?).

"cameras": [{    "name": "Camera",    "id": "Camera",    "position": [4.0000,    1.5000,    4.0000],    "target": [0.0000,    -1.0000,    0.0000],    "fov": 0.8576,    "minZ": 0.1000,    "maxZ": 100.0000,    "speed": 1.0000,    "inertia": 0.9000,    "checkCollisions": false,    "applyGravity": false,    "ellipsoid": [0.2000,    0.9000,    0.2000]}],

And it seems that this target is actually set in the camera during the parsing (in babylon.sceneLoader)

var parseCamera = function (parsedCamera, scene) {    var camera = new BABYLON.FreeCamera(parsedCamera.name, BABYLON.Vector3.FromArray(parsedCamera.position), scene);    camera.id = parsedCamera.id;     // Parent    if (parsedCamera.parentId) {        camera._waitingParentId = parsedCamera.parentId;    }    // Target    if (parsedCamera.target) {        camera.setTarget(BABYLON.Vector3.FromArray(parsedCamera.target));    } else {        camera.rotation = BABYLON.Vector3.FromArray(parsedCamera.rotation);    }

And ... strangely the target position is not rightly set according to the blender camera rotation matrix (but i dont look deeper inside the blender exporter).

Hum here how I compute the target position according to camera rotation in blender:

        invWorld = object.matrix_world.copy()        invWorld.invert()                target = mathutils.Vector((0, 1, 0)) * invWorld

According to this code, I would say that Deltakosh, you always set the target to be on the world Y axis (1 unit from the origin) and you express it in the camera space. That's why JulienGobin your camera will always first look at this point whatever the rotation of your camera in Blender.

 

Y in BabylonJS is Z in Blender.

We can change this behavior guys

Just let me know your ideas

Using rotation instead target working very well 

rotation = mathutils.Vector((-object.rotation_euler[0] + 1.570796326794897, object.rotation_euler[1], -object.rotation_euler[2])).........Export_babylon.write_vector(file_handler, "rotation", rotation)
