quality of life imporovement suggestion for view matrix output
Hi Team,
I use the view matrix command regularly to save orientation of the maps/models in a command file. As it currently stands, the output needs to be formatted appropriately so that the command can be run. As a one off, it is trivial to format the output from the log window into an appropriate format but, when it has to be done repeatedly as is my case it becomes quite annoying. Therefore, I was wondering if you would agree to format the output so that it can be directly copy pasted in a ready to use format?

Hi Pranav,
The view matrix command output looks like this
view matrix
camera position: 1,0,0,-1.5597,0,1,0,-9.1553e-05,0,0,1,324.03 model positions: #1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,#1.1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,#2,0.90168,-0.43227,-0.010709,39.384,0.4324,0.90129,0.026728,18.933,-0.0019015,-0.028731,0.99959,-0.075059,#2.1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0
Then to position the models (and not the camera) you would use command
view matrix models #1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,#1.1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,#2,0.90168,-0.43227,-0.010709,39.384,0.4324,0.90129,0.026728,18.933,-0.0019015,-0.028731,0.99959,-0.075059,#2.1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0
Do you mean you want the view matrix command to output that command, so a single copy and paste lets you put it in a script? I guess I could change the view matrix output so it looks like
view matrix
view matrix camera 1,0,0,-1.5597,0,1,0,-9.1553e-05,0,0,1,324.03 view matrix models #1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,#1.1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,#2,0.90168,-0.43227,-0.010709,39.384,0.4324,0.90129,0.026728,18.933,-0.0019015,-0.028731,0.99959,-0.075059,#2.1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0
Is that what you are suggesting?

Hi Pranav,
Ok, the view matrix command will produce the more useful output in tomorrow's daily builds. Thanks for the suggestion.
