babylon rotate mesh on local axis

[Gheatza]

Hi,

 

I am new to babylon, and after a few days of struggling with rotations, I really need your help.

 

Basically I need to rotate an aircraft in 3D space.

In babylon I tried myMesh.rotation = new BABYLON.Vector3(rotationX, rotationY,rotationZ) but this rotates the aircraft around global axis and it is not what I want.

 

What I need is to rotate the aircraft around global Y axis, then rotate around local X and Z axis.

This is the Actionscript code I have used in a similar game:

 

matrix3D.identity(); 

matrix3D.appendRotation(currYaw, Vector3D.Y_AXIS);

 

//Get the new local Z and X vectors

matrix3D.copyColumnTo(2, fwdVec);

matrix3D.copyColumnTo(0, rightVec);

 

//Rotate around local Z and X axis

matrix3D.appendRotation(currRoll, fwdVec);

matrix3D.appendRotation(currPitch, rightVec);

 

I was not able to find the babylon APIs that I could use to get the same results. I find a lot of posts on babylon that use APIs that are not present in the latest babylon version.

Could someone please help me?

Thank you
