+;Transform matrices
+:Like all matrices in Oni, they are composed of 3 vectors defining rotation/scaling/shearing and a 4th vector defining a translation.
+:In the above table the 4 vectors are presented as rows ([[Wikipedia:row-major_order|Direct 3D convention]]), although OpenGL and Oni use them as columns.
+:[[Wikipedia:Transformation_matrix#Affine_transformations|Affine transformations]] use a 4x4 matrix with 4 extra coefficients (in the presentation above, one would add one column on the right):
+::three [[Wikipedia:3D_projection|projection transform]] coefficients (all of them are zero here); one final coefficient (always 1.0 for an affine transform matrix).
+:Alternatively, one can think of the 3x4 matrix as a 3x3 rotation/scaling matrix and a position vector
+::*Let X=(x, y, z) be the position of a vertex in the M3GM
+::*Let M=(m11, m21, m31; m12, m22, m32; m13, m23, m33) be the 3x3 matrix
+::*Let R=(m14, m24, m34) be the translation vector
+::Then the absolute position of the vertex in the 3D world will be: X M + R
+::(left multiplication is used because of the row-major notation above)
+;Initial transform matrix
+:It is used to position the object in the environment before the animation is played.
+:When the animation is played, they use the fixed transform matrix and a quaternion.
+;Fixed transform matrix
+:This transformation is applied before the quaternion+position transform at every keyframe.
+:The only transform that can't be handled by the quaternion+position is scaling/mirroring.
+:Thus, the fixed transform is a scaling matrix most of the time (no rotation or translation).
+:In the above example, the fixed transform scales the van up by 1.82 (along all three axes).
+;Quaternions
+:Those are used in Oni whenever interpolation of 3D rotation is involved (e.g., [[OBD_talk:TRAM/raw0x34#Quaternions|TRAM rotation]])
+:In this case, rotation at intermediate frames is interpolated from the keyframe quaternions.
+===data harvest from TRAM files===
+It's possible to create animations in Mod Tool and making TRAM files out of them. Then you can extract the quaternions and rotations with onisplit [http://mods.oni2.net/node/38 v0.9.54.0] and use them for OBANs.
+: [http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2276 HERE's] an excel macro to harvest such data for camera animations.
