Hi Performers!

Okay, yesterday I thought I was going insane. The rotations didn't work
the way I thought. Now I found out, why:
The basic problem is that I get the transformation matrix that
represents the current position of the hand of a robot. Now I should
animate the movements of that robot in real time.
It didn't work. The problem is that the robot uses other axis. Its
z-axis is where I have my y-axis, its y-axis is where I have my z-axis.
Only the x-axis are the same.
The next problem is that Performer uses the rotation-order (z, x, y),
while the robot uses (his_z, his_y, his_x).
So, I know my problem, but I don't know a way out. Should I manipulate
the transformation matrix (exchanging the coloms for z and y) or is
there any other way to do it?

Sincerely

Thomas
