We would like to generate animation data in Softimage and export it to GSI
Performer. We are writing a Softimage channel driver to create an appropriate
file.

How should we interpret the values for RotX, RotY and RotZ? Are these rotations
appiled to a global coordinate system or to a local one associated with the
moving object and in what order? More precisely if we rotate (1) around X and
(2) around Z then around which Z should we rotate: the global one or the one
resulting from the initial X rotation (the local one).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
