Seriously, this does come off a bit like “I’m new to graphics programming and would rather have the world reorient itself to me instead of just learning the way the world works.”

If you want to see why this […]

Oh. My. God. What “programmers” exactly you say don’t manage to understand a coordinate system? If its really so hard for you using height-y instead of y just make a method for that yourself.

Well opengl has that coordinate system. So why not just accept it. (But you could use a additinal node wich has your offset and translates the childs as you want if you really need that)

You don’t want to mess with rotations at all due to several reasons, best use direction vectors: http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3:math_for_dummies

The OBJ loader will merge the objects/groups based on material, currently it doesn’t separate by objects/groups. I added an issue in the tracker for this.

Thanks! I didn’t know about this method!

Well you better figure them out. And read the link I posted:

…[Euler rotations]…There are problems however. One is that the order of operations is important. If you pitch an object 90 degrees, then yaw it […]

Well, I don’t care how it will work internally. It can convert x,y,z degrees to quaternions and rotate appropriately. I’d like just easy function that will save me a hassle with figuring out how to use quaternions.

You cannot just set an x,y,z Euler rotation on a spatial, you need to use a quaternion or a Matrix3f. Euler rotations are not used for several reasons. This is worth a read.

Hmmm… Yeah… But you’re still fishing around to match the names against the index id’s at some point.
