Global rotation instead of local - Roll(Transform)

vvvv beta general
#1

hi
what i want to do:
rotate a sphere with the mouse using a global coordinate system,
not the spheres local one.

i found svens Roll(Transform), which almost does the job.

the Roll node offers Rotations per Second.
how would it be done according to the mouse position?!
thanks

try it with FrameDifference (Animation) and multiply it with a value to get the rotation speed you want. if you installed svens roll module in vvvv’s \modules\sven the following patch should do what you want:

ArcBall.v4p (7.1 kB)

As a beginner with vvvv i don’t really understand what is going on in the Roll Patch.
What i want to do is nearly the same as partikel: Rotate a sphere on the global axis and not on its own axis - because these will rotate with it when i perform another rotation.
The Roll patch does exactly this but depending on rotations per second. Is there any way to rotate to a exact position?
