About mesh.clone()

[BlackMojito]

It seems that mesh.clone shares the geometry. But how can I apply different transforms to them then? 

Knowing that I cannot use instances as they do not share the same material.

 

It seems that AbstractMesh inherits TransformNode. I looked into the source code of TransformNode and I found it was not convenient that we could not directly apply a transform matrix on it. Instead we needed to decompose the matrix into translation and rotation (either to quaternion or to euler angles)? 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Do you mean transforms to the geometry? or position/rotation etc'?

4 by 4 transform matrix, position + rotation. It seems that I need to call Matrix.decompose() ?

you can either decompose your matrix and apply the component to each mesh or leave the meshes position, rotation and scaling unchanged and directly use the mesh.setPreTransformMatrix function

Thanks boss!
