Hi Koby

>Does anybody know how to get from a rigid body, its rotation about each =
axis.

>I mean the rotation angle over axis x, axis y and axis z?


here is paper

http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~slabaugh/personal/research/euler/euler.pdf

the problem is however that the angles are not unique.

some more info on the same subject might be found here (last pages of =
paper on matrix - euler angles conversion)
http://www.diku.dk/forskning/image/teaching/Studentprojects/Quaternion/

Regards
Serge

  Subject: [ODE] question about rotating


  Hi

  Does anybody know how to get from a rigid body, its rotation about =
each axis.

  I mean the rotation angle over axis x, axis y and axis z?

   Thank you
