I am trying to convert a X,Y,Z rotation from the rotate anim curves to a local quaternion of a bone.<br />
<br />
I've read that &quot;Total Rotation = Pre Rotation * Rotation * Post Rotation<br />
<br />
where Pre Rotation = Joint Orient, &nbsp;and Post Rotation is Rotate Orient<br />
<br />
How exactly out of Maya SDK do I get these &nbsp;Pre and Post rotations? &nbsp;-- What exactly are they?

Maya SDK Getting total rotation from Rotation Anim Curves

Game programming is the software development of video games. Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering as well as specialization in simulation, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, audio programming, and input. Like other software, game development programs are generated from source code to the actual program by a compiler. Source code can be developed with almost any text editor, but most professional game programmers use a full integrated development environment (IDE).
