I am very new to developing applications with LibGDX and 3D apps in general and I would just like to know how to move around a 3D object that I imported from blender. I have checked the Mesh class for a transform method but I can’t find one.
Moving objects around in 3D is normally done by manipulating a transformation matrix. LibGDX doesn’t seem to be open source anymore (for 1 day – April 1st ;P) so I can’t tell you how to do it there but I guess the mesh class isn’t the right place to look for. Meshes normally only represent a shape/mesh without any position. You’d often create an object/entity and assign a mesh to it. Then you change the transformation of that entity.
As I said, transforming entities is often either done by calling some move/scale/rotate methods or by creating a transformation matrix yourself and loading it into the graphics pipeline. Modern 3D graphics applications normally use the shaders for that and just load the transformation matrix into the shader pipeline.
