Hi guys

I’m stuck with a problem trying to convert Assimp’s aiMatrix4x4 to a D3DXMATRIX since I’m using DirectX. I do not want to use the aiMatrix4x4 because my whole engine uses the D3DXMATRIX.

Thanks in advance.

Surely it's simple enough to grab the values from the aiMatrix4x4 and set them into your D3DXMATRIX? They are both matrices after all.

Construct your D3DXMATRIX using the values from the aiMatrix4x4. One D3DXMATRIX constructor takes a pointer to floats.

D3DXMATRIX( CONST FLOAT * );

Hi.
Thank you for your answer stayscript. I had some includes missing but it is all sorted out now.
I don’t know the exact reason but when I tried, like you suggested, I got a constant error. This was the code:

const aiMatrix4x4 pMatrix = paiMesh->mBones[i]->mOffsetMatrix;
	 D3DXMATRIX PMatrix;
	 PMatrix(0,0) = pMatrix.a1;

The compiler complained about .a1 cannot be found. I included "matrix4x4" and all is fine.

Thanks again.

Your code isn't really what I was suggesting, i suggested that you pass in the array of floats from the aiMatrix4x4 and use them to construct the D3DXMATRIX

Something like the following:

D3DXMATRIX PMatrix(&paiMesh->mBones[i]->mOffsetMatrix[0]);

Glad you got it working though

Hi styscript.
Thank you for your idea. Never thought of it. I’ll surely implement it. Its mush better.
Thanks again

No problem.
