is math "genius" around us?
i have two bones in different spaces, i know their world orientation in each of their world spaces (and could probably translate one to the other space)
also i know their forward vector
what i want is a translation matrix which i can use to transpose rotations from one system to the other
celest musk
thanks, but i've played around with this and didn't really succeed
celest musk
also probably because i don't really know how to apply it
yea i've probably read it like 5 times by now 😄
celest musk
also another big problem is, i really only know for sure the bones forward vector
i'm trying around now, converting both to the corresponding world/component space, and then converting over to UE, and unrotating it... but... i'm bad at this stuff 😄
trail wedge
you just need to know 3 vectors and their angles or 1 vector and a plane to define a 3D space
unborn lotus
looks like someone didn't pay attention in school 👓
celest musk
never had matrices in school
trail wedge
this was 9th grade math for me, but most of my classmates were in 12th grade
so I don't expect people to know this tbh
most people won't take past Algebra 2/Trigonometry, if they even get that far
I suppose it matters what order you teach the topics in though... there is some room to have different paths at this point in math
celest musk
also i don't really understand how the change of basis method from the 2nd link should work if it just knows the direction vectors of one system
wouldn't i need the vectors of both?
trail wedge
wouldn't i need the vectors of both?
well in their case they're doing a transpose
so they know both spaces if they know one
but that's just for their example
celest musk
well they pretty much do what i want tho...
This example describes a change of basis we had to perform to convert 3D rotations from an OpenCV Augmented Reality tracking frame (right-handed, Z forward) to Unreal Engine (left-handed, X forward).
trail wedge
well just copy it?
celest musk
except that i have y-forward in UE
it doesn't work for me
trust me, i wasted hours on this. i'm just too stupid 😄
so, since you understand a bit of it
this method... i feel like it's for transposing out of unreal
trail wedge
this method... i feel like it's for transposing out of unreal
it's bidirectional
celest musk
and taking the direction vectors of the target space as parameter?
trail wedge
and taking the direction vectors of the target space as parameter?
from the 2nd link
the actual code, which takes as input the destination frame Forward, Right and Up directions. The final parameter is of course the Transform we are about to “convert”
if i was about to transpose from X to Unreal, would i use unreals fwd/up/right vectors as parameter?
or the ones from the source space?
trail wedge
so the FRU vectors are for the world space you want to end up in
and the transform is the thing you want to move to the new world space
celest musk
ok, but this is confusing AF
how would it know that Y/Z axis are swapped in the source space?
from where does it get that?
trail wedge
from where does it get that?
the 3 vectors tell us everything we need to know about the destination space..... and the transform we're converting contains both the location and the coordinate space info
quasi mantle
this was 9th grade math for me, but most of my classmates were in 12th grade
I got taught of matrices in around 11th grade, but I'm declining in high school, so matrices were almost entirely lost on me.
celest musk
maybe i'm lacking knowledge about FTransforms...
are they initialized with the UE world matrix?
quasi mantle
I had the so called gifted child situation
trail wedge
maybe i'm lacking knowledge about FTransforms...
think of an FTransform as a location vector and rotation info relative to a world space
trail wedge
I had the so called gifted child situation
same, there were only 9 kids in my 12th grade Calc3 class
it was hard to slack in that class we all got personal attention
celest musk
FTransform T;
T.SetScale3D(FVector::OneVector);
T.SetLocation(FVector::ZeroVector);
T.SetRotation(BoneRotationInSourceSpace);
celest musk
this is all you got in an FTransform
there's no information about the space
there's an arbitrary rotation in the space tho
trail wedge
there's no information about the space
trail wedge
I did miss mentioning the scale tho
celest musk
guess that's what i'm having trouble with
scale in both cases is 1, so it shouldn't matter
location is world origin, shouldn't matter either
i only care about the rotation, could probably somehow solve this with an FQuat, if i would understand it 😄
pearl elk
did you try drawing a picture?
trail wedge
i only care about the rotation, could probably somehow solve this with an FQuat,...
well you didn't say that lol you asked about the matrix
that's a different method
celest musk
well, i thought the matrix could also handle translations for me later (which isn't really necessary, since it's just swapping two axis)

exactly my thought lol because a normal of a bone in world space isnt the same as its pivot

A bone is a position and a rotation and length, I guess?

trying to convert DAZ (right handed, y up) to UE (left handed, z up, y forward (since rig space))
celest musk
i don't know which axis maps to which (except for the forward axis)
fleet tangle
But seriously, you could do just that. Convert the rotation to a vector, change the vector axes around and convert it back into a rotator/quat.
celest musk
but i have both bones origins in their corresponding world space
fleet tangle
I'm not seeing the issue. You're converting position to a different coordinate method?
That's the easiest one!
trail wedge
i don't know which axis maps to which (except for the forward axis)
you just told us though
DAZ (right handed, y up) to UE (left handed, z up, y forward (since rig space))
celest musk
yea @fleet tangle i was about to try this next (since i haven't tested with world space before and somehow got stuck in a loop trying it in bone space)
fleet tangle
Draw both of the axes out.
trail wedge
sorry did the wrong reply
fleet tangle
Then you can easily see which is which.
celest musk
I'm not seeing the issue. You're converting _position_ to a different coordinate...
rotations
fleet tangle
Then use the vector conversion method.
celest musk
so transpose the euler angles?
fleet tangle
Convert them in the original DAZ space, swap the axes and convert back to rotation in UE space.
Or, well, convert them to vectors in UE space to begin with and then swap the vector axes, that might work.
Test!
trail wedge
FTransform BoneTransform;
BoneTransform.SetScale3D(FVector::OneVector);
BoneTransform.SetLocation(BoneVector);
BoneTransform.SetRotation(BoneRotation);
FVector DAZForward = {0,0,1};
FVector DAZRight = {1,0,0};
FVector DAZUp = {0,1,0};
use that as your input
trail wedge
as input for what?
celest musk
you said earlier that the method needs the direction vectors of the target space?!
trail wedge
reread
fleet tangle
however i wish i would understand the matrix stuff 😄
What don't you understand about matrices?
celest musk
the 3 vectors tell us everything we need to know about the destination space..... and the transform we're converting contains both the location and the coordinate space info
isn't destination == target?
trail wedge
aren't you converting to DAZ?
celest musk
no, from DAZ to UE
trail wedge
or did I get that backwards
ahh sorry well just use the UE ones then for the vectors
fleet tangle
Can you not export in a difference space?
celest musk
Can you not export in a difference space?

trail wedge
that can't work
no you're right sorry it's 2am I'm about to hop off
celest musk
was that sarcastic?
fleet tangle
And what format is the DAZ rotation in?
celest musk
And what format is the DAZ rotation in?
Y up, Z forward, X right (and right handed)
fleet tangle
So the rotation is already in a vector format?
celest musk
yea
fleet tangle
Not a rotation from axis format, like yaw, pitch, roll?
This is stupidly easy then.
Just swap the axes.
trail wedge
back to what I said a while ago.... there's probably a helper I don't know about for this in UE that makes this 1 line of code
this is why I think this
fleet tangle
It's already 1 line of code.
I mean, I'd make it 4 because I like using multiple lines for initialisers.
celest musk

celest musk
since that overall seems to be useful knowledge and i feel like that knowing it would be good
fleet tangle
So, ben, just to be clear, your bone rotations are vectors and you need to convert them to... UE vectors? or rotators?

It's more important to know how and when to use it to solve actual problems than to know the inner workings. Sure, the inner workings can use useful, too, but not as much as knowing how to apply them.

since the bones seem to not line up exactly -.-

yes
celest musk
some are kinda okayish, like this one is okay
lHand, daz orientation: X= 178.795 Y= 135.884 Z= -0.564
lHand, ue orientation: X= -90.679 Y= -45.883 Z=-178.269
That doesn't look okay.
celest musk
that would be both in UE Space
and the Y axis probably just missing a fix from the weirdo daz coord system
which, hear me out... aligns a bone on the first axis of it's bone rotation order 😄
fleet tangle
It looks like rotations, not vectors.
fleet tangle
You did say it was in vectors before!
celest musk
i said i have euler angles (maybe euler vectors instead of angles)
broken sigil
There is an example of converting from Maya's coordinate system to UEs somewhere in the fbx static mesh importer that is I believe doing something similar as what you are trying to do, could take a peek there
celest musk
this one is bad tho
rEar, daz orientation: X=-177.694 Y=175.985 Z= 59.719
rEar, ue orientation: X=-119.876 Y= 87.666 Z=-150.117
On my phone so can't tell you the actual file and function name
fleet tangle
this one is bad tho
```
rEar, daz orientation: X=-177.694 Y=175.985 Z= 59.719
rE...
Yeah, that's totally out.
celest musk
the 60 and 120 might add up with some rotation fixing, but the 150 seems lost
fleet tangle
Is the rotation in world space or in parent bone space?
fleet tangle
They may not be.
celest musk
convert both to their world space, move the rotation over, and apply it to ue space
FQuat UE_WorldRotation = FAnimationRuntime::GetComponentSpaceTransformRefPose(RefSkeleton, BoneIndex).GetRotation();
that's pretty idiot proof
same for daz, since the bones don't know any hierarchy
they are just placed in world space
the thing is... i tried to brute force this 😄
rotated vectors around arbitrary rotations in both spaces, to map the bone axis, which on some bones worked
but others not so much... 😄
fleet tangle
I would create a known, simple skeleton in DAZ and get it importing properly.
celest musk
the rig is from blender, i can't change that as i really need this exact rig
and DAZ fbx export is the worst thing ever...
fleet tangle
The point is to get the importer working correctly before moving onto more advanced stuff. 🙂
celest musk
idk, maybe something is just f*** up my rotation values in the DAZ space...
since i have to use FQuat to construct the world orientation (so that i can do it in the correct rotation order)
which might lead to unexpected euler values when converting back
fleet tangle
Are you visualising the output?
celest musk
kind of... i'm loading a pose file for the rig which i write to an animation sequence
so... i've seen things... collapsed bodies, broken bones, all of it 😄
fleet tangle
I see.
celest musk
this is bugging me, the safest way would be doing this whole rotation transposing in bone space
but i don't know how to figure out how to map the 2nd/3rd axis of DAZ to UE
i only really know their forward vector 😭
fleet tangle
... are you sure nobody has made a plugin for this laready?
Also didn't you post the picture earlier with it all in?
celest musk
there's one which tries to solve that problem on the DAZ side and create an matching FBX
fleet tangle
Oh, Xero did.
celest musk
but they also struggle with animation/poses 😄
and opening the DAZ files just in UE would be so more convenient than using DAZ....
fleet tangle
In addition, the format assumes that all coordinate systems are right-handed and that world coordinate systems are Y-up (i.e. gravity acts in the negative-Y direction).
X -> Y, Y -> Z, Z -> -X
(DAZ->UE)
celest musk
bone space is totally different from world space
you can have pretty much anything as bone space if you wish so
fleet tangle
It'll all be using the same coordinate system, though.
celest musk
i think i struggled to get a solution to this
one side, z-axis positive would rotate the bone up, but on the other side down
also, i wouldn't even know what Z/X is on the DAZ bone
if i could just generate some kind of translation matrix that would be the best solution, since it would also solve slightly differences in the rig
thought something like this could be constructed by applying some predefined vectors + rotations within each bones space
i should probably just give up on the mathematical approach 😄
pearl elk
theres no rig mirroring in Daz is there?
pearl elk
A common issue I have with 3dsmax is not being able to scale rigs after the fact, no amount of reset xform or conversions work. The only solution is to completely recreate the rig again at the correct scale. Im wondering if its one of these sorts of issues where the transform isnt correctly imported for the rig. I think thats why Maya is popular because of the way it handles rig transforms
celest musk
people say blender has an awful user interface, they never used DAZ
what you want should work fine in blender
you cant scale a rig and apply the transformation in 3DS Max so that it ends up scaled as 1,1,1?
pearl elk
it is only ever scaled at 1,1,1 it looks correct in UE but it actually isnt
celest musk
so the armature/rig itself doesn't really have a scale in 3DS Max?
pearl elk
I found out the hard way with how the wheels are auto positioned using the rig for vehicles. I wondered why they were never in the correct location. Turns out it has to do with the scaling of the original rig
celest musk
do you have a root bone in 3DS Max or is it generated when you export?
pearl elk
I have no idea how it exports, Id assume if the issue was with FBX it would do it for all rigs not just 3dsmax
celest musk
so you exported the rig from UE to edit it in 3DS Max?
pearl elk
no, I export from 3dsmax to UE and it displays correctly but the root scaling is incorrect if you try to scale it in 3dsmax. I have seen similar issues when auto rigs use mirroring of bones, the coordinates get flipped
celest musk
you can for sure fix this in blender, i would never ever come up with the idea to try it in DAZ tho
pearl elk
recreating the rig either way unfortunately
celest musk
ok next try... this time with an lookup table based on a reference pose asset with defined rotations 😄

Guys I have a serious question - how in the world do I estimate the amount of time it'll take me to complete a programming task when talking to an employer?
I'm currently in a state where the people I work for expect daily checkins and every time there is a dreaded question - "how long until done?"
And the truth is that I have no idea at all. I'm developing an AI system from scratch, I found it necessary to write my own movement component, etc. It's currently all in a state of "working but terrible" and I'm steadily fixing it up but it's so hard to keep up with these expectations.
Just advice on how to speak with an employer about time needed to complete something would be great. These guys are less than formal in the way they work and there's this weird parasocial thing going on where they're like trying to be my friends and whatnot, and it's getting to me. I hate disappointing people.

This is a 2d game, playerstart doesn't work with topdown, not sure why, so I have to do it like this
well afaik atleast
and the saves are just beta because a lack of a main menu
I am up for any advice
but playerstart will not work for topdown
I've tried it numerous times
this is a pawn
not a camera
I'd be loading in this pawn though, I just put savegame though because there's no main menu and I don't want a crash
I meant creating myb
not saving
one sec
so it is bugged?
ill generate it and check it out
nah, this isn't what I meant
in my topdown view you wouldn't move with the character, so my way of avoiding this was to make a pawn and an actor you'd control with the pawn
so PlayerCamera is essentially a camera with structure data in it
so it'd look something like this
is it fine to LoadSaveGames at beginplay? I just want to set a structure there

quasi mantle
i wonder... would it be overkill to have a subsystem for the configuration of a ...
Many plugins do use subsystem anyway, so...
lyric pulsar
It depends on the specific context and details of the plugin and its configuration options. In general, having a subsystem for the configuration of a plugin can be useful because it allows for a centralized and organized way to manage and access the settings for the plugin. This can make it easier for users to modify and customize the plugin to their liking, and it can also help developers to maintain and update the plugin more efficiently. However, if the plugin has only a few simple configuration options, then a separate subsystem might be unnecessary and could potentially add unnecessary complexity. In such cases, it might be more appropriate to handle the configuration options directly within the main plugin code. Ultimately, the decision to use a subsystem for the configuration of a plugin should be based on the specific requirements and goals of the plugin.

There is a gap and it actually is a bit annoying when gripping a mouse and aiming
I can also dislocate my shoulder and pop it back in, only my left one lol
cursive crypt
I heard that after trauma ppl can do that. In fact, is kinda bad because it can happen when you don't want it.
broken sigil
Yeah if I lay on it in a weird way it kinda slips out lol
But never had problems with it
