Radians versus Degrees for motion files

Post by Joseph Alston » Sat Feb 07, 2009 11:11 am

I currently working with a model that incorperates some automatic scaling. Several of the joints in the model are related to each other by some simple scaling factors. The model performs the scaling quite well. The probelem I'm having is that the motion file i'm using has the inputs to the coordinates as being degrees and the joints with scaling reads them as radians. All the normal joints that don't have the scaling read the inputs as degrees. Is there a way to specify all joints to read the inputs as degrees or radians so that they are consistant? Or would it be easier to rebuild the model such that there is no built in scaling?
