Hi, This was mentioned a while ago, but I dont think any conclusion was
reached..
A problem I come across almost weekly from new scripters is how to get
the worldspace location of a vector from object data, a vert say
(through emails end blenderartist python forum)
world_vec= vec*matrix works if the vector 4D but for 3D vectors it
dosent apply the translation.
Solutions are ...
mtx= ob.matrixWorld
vec_copy= Mathutils.Vector(vec)
vec_copy.resize4D()
vec=vec_copy*mtx
vec.resize3D()
or...
mtx= ob.matrixWorld
vec=vec*mtx
vec= vec+mtx.translationPart()
or..
do the matrix multiplication manually..
Could we just have the matrix multiplication apply transformation to a
3D vector?
