Thanks all for the replies. please bare with me, I find Matrix stuff to be a black magic box… not for the rotations… you have to convert the matrix …

so, given any (max_pos, max_rot): –Max RH Z up to Direct 3d LH Y up Direct3D_pos = [ max_pos.x , max_pos.z , max_pos.y ] Direct3D_rot = [ max_rot.x…
