Bone:SetRotation

This method can be used to manually rotate a bone. You can control skinned models enirely in code or apply your own movements on top of animation.

Syntax

SetRotation(number pitch, number yaw, number roll, boolean = false)
SetRotation(Vec3 rotation, boolean global = false)
SetRotation(Quat rotation, boolean global = false)

Parameter	Description
rotation, (pitch, yaw, roll)	rotation to set
global	if set to true rotation is relative to the skeleton, otherwise it is relative to the bone's parent

Remarks

To combine programmatic movement with animation, this method should be called after World::Update and before World::Render.

Example

This example will load and display an animated model, but we will add code to turn the character's head back and forth as they walk.

local world = CreateWorld()
local camera = CreateCamera(world)
local light = CreateBoxLight(world)
local model = LoadModel(world, "https://github.com/UltraEngine/Documentation/raw/master/Assets/Models/Characters/Fox.glb")
local neck = model.skeleton:FindBone("b_Neck_04")
local rotation = Vec3()

-- Main loop
while window:Closed() == false do
    world:Update()

    rotation.y = Cos(Millisecs() / 10.0) * 65.0
    neck:SetRotation(rotation)

    world:Render(framebuffer)
end
