Rotation difference

Functionality

Creates quaternion which produce rotation from first to second given points. It can be alternative of normal matrix node. Meanwhile last one can work only with limited number of axis the rotation difference node can work with arbitrary axes.

Category

Quaternions -> Rotation difference

Inputs

• Verts_A - vertices (start of rotation)

• Verts_B - vertices (end of rotation)

Outputs

• Quaternions - rotation difference between given points

Parameters

Parameters	Type	Description
Flat output	bool	Put all quaternions into flat list

Usage

First vector of the node is initial direction of monkey head, second one is direction of empty object:

• Generator-> Suzanne

• Scene-> Objects In Lite

• Matrix-> Matrix Out

• Quaternion-> Quaternion Out

• Viz-> Viewer Draw

Also it is possible to make movements of monkey head more natural by applying Z component separately:

• Generator-> Suzanne

• Scene-> Objects In Lite

• Component-Wise: Vector-> Vector Math

• Quaternion-> Quaternion Out

• Quaternion Multiply: Quaternion-> Quaternion Math

• Viz-> Viewer Draw
