Dear All,
I am looking for math formulae (or Java code) that could help me draw a cylinder between 2 spheres.
I am using Java to create a WRL file. The world is composed of several spheres (known x,y,z locations). I would like to draw cylinders between spheres, but I am struggling with the VRML rotation function.
So I would need a function that returns:
translation Ax Ay Az
rotation Bx By Bz Th
given 2 locations (x1,y1,z1) (x2,y2,z2)
Thanks,
Olivier
