I need to export some objects into game which uses XYZ rotation order.
Stock Max rotation order is ZYX.
I don’t know how to convert roation from one order to another.
There was similar topic, but it no answers te question:

$.transform.rotation as eulerangles
returns by default in the order of x y z
My bad… so I need ZYX order.
a = $.transform.rotation as eulerangles
b = point3 a.z a.y a.x –preety one
–b = [a.z, a.y, a.x] –fast one to process
“Rotation order” no means just order of the values.
So that I say before is correct. In max we have ZYX rotation order.
It means the X rotation axis is most “free”. It’s like with parent objects:
Z -> Y -> X
Where X is child of Y, and Y is child of Z.
If you rotate Z axis the Y and X will be rotated too.
This movie will better explain that (watch at 3:00)
oops, DEL pls :surprised
Also, if you need some different setup quickly, couldn’t you also swizzle the results you get?
Unless I didnt understant your issue right:
quatToEuler $.rotation order:6
if you search for quatToEuler method, it’ll give you the available orders. In this case 6 = ZYX
Perhaps you’re looking for something like <the object rotation> = (quatToEuler $.transform.rotation)
