- <p>
- Three.js uses `matrices` to encode 3D transformations---translations (position), rotations, and scaling. Every instance of `Object3D` has a `matrix` which stores that object's position, rotation, and scale. This page describes how to update an object's transformation.
- </p>
-
- <h2>Convenience properties and `matrixAutoUpdate`</h2>
-
- <p>
- There are two ways to update an object's transformation:
- </p>
- <ol>
- <li>
- Modify the object's `position`, `quaternion`, and `scale` properties, and let three.js recompute
- the object's matrix from these properties:
- <pre class="prettyprint notranslate lang-js" translate="no">
- object.position.copy( start_position );
- object.quaternion.copy( quaternion );
- </pre>
- By default, the `matrixAutoUpdate` property is set true, and the matrix will be automatically recalculated.
- If the object is static, or you wish to manually control when recalculation occurs, better performance can be obtained by setting the property false:
- <pre class="prettyprint notranslate lang-js" translate="no">
- object.matrixAutoUpdate = false;
- </pre>
- And after changing any properties, manually update the matrix:
- <pre class="prettyprint notranslate lang-js" translate="no">
- object.updateMatrix();
- </pre>
- </li>
- <li>
- Modify the object's matrix directly. The `Matrix4` class has various methods for modifying the matrix:
- <pre class="prettyprint notranslate lang-js" translate="no">
- object.matrix.setRotationFromQuaternion( quaternion );
- object.matrix.setPosition( start_position );
- object.matrixAutoUpdate = false;
- </pre>
- Note that `matrixAutoUpdate` <em>must</em> be set to `false` in this case, and you should make sure <em>not</em> to call `updateMatrix`. Calling `updateMatrix` will clobber the manual changes made to the matrix, recalculating the matrix from `position`, `scale`, and so on.
- </li>
- </ol>
-
- <h2>Object and world matrices</h2>
- <p>
- An object's matrix stores the object's transformation <em>relative</em> to the object's parent; to get the object's transformation in <em>world</em> coordinates, you must access the object's world matrix.
- </p>
- <p>
- When either the parent or the child object's transformation changes, you can request that the child object's world matrix be updated by calling `object.updateMatrixWorld()`.
- </p>
- <p>
- An object can be transformed via `applyMatrix4()`. Note: Under-the-hood, this method relies on `Matrix4.decompose()`, and not all matrices are decomposable in this way. For example, if an object has a non-uniformly scaled parent, then the object's world matrix may not be decomposable, and this method may not be appropriate.
- </p>
-
- <h2>Rotation and Quaternion</h2>
- <p>
- Three.js provides two ways of representing 3D rotations: Euler angles and Quaternions, as well as methods for converting between the two. Euler angles are subject to a problem called "gimbal lock," where certain configurations can lose a degree of freedom (preventing the object from being rotated about one axis). For this reason, object rotations are <em>always</em> stored in the object's quaternion.
- </p>
- <p>
- Previous versions of the library included a `useQuaternion` property which, when set to false, would cause the object's matrix to be calculated from an Euler angle. This practice is deprecated---instead, you should use the `object.setRotationFromEuler()` method, which will update the quaternion.
