Rotation transforms, browser differences, GWD doesn't seem to honor absolute percentages.

[s...@evilcode.net]

Was creating an ad that would feature several balls rolling from left to right and right to left across the viewable area. The behavior in chrome seems to be to do the rotation transform in whatever direction is shortest -- that is, when rotating from 0 deg to 181 deg it seems like prefer counter-clockwise animation. Firefox and IE seem to rotate relative to the change, so when going from 0 to 181 degrees they would both go clockwise, since the change was positive. From 0 to -181 they would go counter-clockwise.

GWD doesn't seem to respect absolute degree inputs, it seems to try to "fix them up" so you are always in the range of +/- 180, which makes it hard to work around this.

GWD, since it puts out 3D orientations as matrices, will go the shortest route. We are looking at solutions for this, but for now the work-around is to add an extra keyframe so that no rotation animations span greater than 180 degrees.

Has there been a fix for the rotation?

Hi Eric

Thank you for using GWD.  We are looking at solutions for this and we also had a bug on file for the issue.

Thanks!

Is there any news regarding this behaviour?

Adding an extra keyframe is not always possible. When using custom easing in animations for example.

It's been two years since this bug has been posted. No solution yet?
