Hello,
how can I extract only the orientation from this matrix , without shear and scale? The quaternion function seems not to ignore the scales and shears that are stored in the matrix and this leads to different rotations.
I get strange mblur result when I try te calclate the w attribute from this.
thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,
You can do this using the polardecomp [www.sidefx.com] VEX function:
