I understand that a 4x4 matrix holds rotation and position data.
The rotation data is held in the 3x3 sub-matrix at the top left of the matrix.
The position data is held in the last column of the matrix.
e.g.
glm::vec3 vParentPos(
mParent[3][0],
mParent[3][1],
mParent[3][2]
);
My question is - am I accessing the parent matrix correctly in the example above? I know that opengl uses a different matrix ordering that directx, (row order instead of column order or something), so, should the mParent be accessed as follows instead?
glm::vec3 vParentPos(
mParent[0][3],
mParent[1][3],
mParent[2][3]
);
thanks!
