please help me

Hello,

I think that it all depends on how you draw the object. If the object has translations inside of it, then the actually translation point may be different. If you are just using a primitive, then it does translate from the center.

here are some examples (in suedo code )

the first one will translate the object from the bottom left corner, because the cube is translated inside of the push/pop first, therefore making the translation point(0,0,0) the bottom left corner...

-the cubes are all 1x1x1 draw at the orgin

gl_translate X=10, Y=0, Z=0;
gl_push;
gl_translate X=0.5, Y=0.5, Z=0;
gl_draw_primitive_cube;
gl_pop;

the result of the above should have a center point of (10.5,0.5,0.0)

if you just draw a cube and translate it, then the translation point is from the center, which is (0,0,0)

gl_translate X=10, Y=0, Z=0;
gl_draw_primitive_cube;

the result of the above should have a center point of (10.0,0.0,0.0)

if i''m not making any sense, sorry but it''s late. if you understand, then i hope i''m glad i could help.

later
