Method Details

log

public static Quaternion log(Quaternion q,
 Quaternion store)

Calculate the natural logarithm of a unit quaternion.

Parameters:

q - the input Quaternion (not null, normalized, unaffected)

store - storage for the result (not null, modified)

Returns:

the logarithm (store)

exp

public static Quaternion exp(Quaternion q,
 Quaternion store)

Calculate the exponential of a pure quaternion.

Parameters:

q - the input Quaternion (not null, w=0, unaffected)

store - storage for the result (not null, modified)

Returns:

the exponential (store)

slerpNoInvert

public static Quaternion slerpNoInvert(Quaternion q1,
 Quaternion q2,
 float t,
 Quaternion store)

slerp

public static Quaternion slerp(Quaternion q1,
 Quaternion q2,
 float t,
 Quaternion store)

Interpolate between 2 quaternions using Slerp.

Parameters:

q1 - the desired value for t=0

q2 - the desired value for t=1

t - the fractional parameter (≥0, ≤1)

store - storage for the result (not null, modified)

Returns:

the interpolated Quaternion (store)

squad

public static Quaternion squad(Quaternion q0,
 Quaternion q1,
 Quaternion q2,
 Quaternion q3,
 Quaternion a,
 Quaternion b,
 float t,
 Quaternion store)

raySegmentShortestDistance

public static float raySegmentShortestDistance(Ray ray,
 Vector3f segStart,
 Vector3f segEnd,
 Camera camera)

Returns the shortest distance between a Ray and a segment. The segment is defined by a start position and an end position in world space The distance returned will be in world space (world units). If the camera parameter is not null the distance will be returned in screen space (pixels)

Parameters:

ray - The ray

segStart - The start position of the segment in world space

segEnd - The end position of the segment in world space

camera - The renderer camera if the distance is required in screen space. Null if the distance is required in world space

Returns:

the shortest distance between the ray and the segment or -1 if no solution is found.
