I have a 2f cylinder and the user defined data for RotX and RotZ. I also know that the "bottom" of my cylinder is at (0,0,0) (the center of the circle forming the "bottom")
I need to calculate the βtopβ point (the center of the circle at the other end) that has data open in the top rows.
In my second image, point A is calculated as follows (sin (zAngle), cos (zAngle), sin (xAngle) with zAngle = PI / 4 (alpha angle) and xAngle = 0.
Point B is calculated as (sin (xAngle), cos (xAngle), sin (zAngle)) with xAngle = PI / 4 (beta angle) and zAngle = 0; C is the top of the cylinder with xAngle = PI / 4 and zAngle = PI / 4.
I need to find an algorithm to determine the "top" point for any given xAngle and zAngle.
I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help me.
