Rotating a mesh by degree's

[UltraCakeBakery]

Hey everyone.

Title says it all. How do i rotate an object using degrees? This is how i did it in the past but it doesn't work

cube.rotation = new BABYLON.Vector3(45, 45, 0);

Hi,

Rotations are in radians. You need to convert degrees to radians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian. Radian =  degree * Math.PI / 180

By the way, 45 == Math.PI / 4, 90 == Math.PI / 2 and 180 == Math.PI

You can also convert to radians using BJS tools (https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/src/Tools/babylon.tools.ts#L336 :

var radians = Babylon.Tools.ToRadians(angle);

And welcome to the forum!
