I have imported an FBX model that composes of multiple meshes. Unfortunately, I am not able to display each mesh in their correct positions. For each mesh I multiply a geometric transformation of the mesh with a local transformation of the mesh and then pass it to shader. How can I fix this problem?
gl_Position = modelViewProjectionMatrix *TransformationMatrix*vertexPositionsOfMesh;
GLKMatrix4 LcLTransformation = createTransformationMatrix(
Mesh->LclRotation,
Mesh->LclScaling,
Mesh->LclTranslation);
GLKMatrix4 GeoTransformation = createTransformationMatrix(
Mesh->GeometricRotation,
Mesh->GeometricScaling,
Mesh->GeometricTranslation);
TransformationMatrix=GLKMatrix4Transpose(GLKMatrix4Multiply(LcLTransformation,
GeoTransformation));
GLKMatrix4 createTransformationMatrix(float* _rotation, float* _scaling, float* _translation)
{
GLKMatrix4 Rx = GLKMatrix4Make(1, 0, 0, 0,
0, cos(_rotation[0]), -sin(_rotation[0]), 0,
0, sin(_rotation[0]), cos(_rotation[0]), 0,
0, 0, 0, 1
);
GLKMatrix4 Ry = GLKMatrix4Make(cos(_rotation[1]), 0, sin(_rotation[1]), 0,
0, 1, 0, 0,
-sin(_rotation[1]), 0, cos(_rotation[1]), 0,
0, 0, 0, 1
);
GLKMatrix4 Rz = GLKMatrix4Make(cos(_rotation[2]), -sin(_rotation[2]), 0, 0,
sin(_rotation[2]), cos(_rotation[2]), 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1
);
GLKMatrix4 Translation = GLKMatrix4Make(1, 0, 0, _translation[0],
0, 1, 0, _translation[1],
0, 0, 1, _translation[2],
0, 0, 0, 1
);
GLKMatrix4 Scaling = GLKMatrix4Identity;
Scaling.m00 = _scaling[0];
Scaling.m11 = _scaling[1];
Scaling.m22 = _scaling[2];
GLKMatrix4 Rotation = GLKMatrix4Multiply(GLKMatrix4Multiply(Rx, Ry), Rz);
Transformation = GLKMatrix4Multiply(Scaling, GLKMatrix4Multiply(Rotation, Translation));
return Transformation;
}
According to the Transformations example code in Autodesk's official SDK, a node's global position in the world space is recursively calculated by the CalculateGlobalTransform(FbxNode* pNode) function as in the sample code below. Very important things to notice are this function takes into account not just pre and post rotations, but also pivot location and offsets. Also depending on the node's transformation inheritance type, the transformation formula changes.
In case you import the model from 3ds Max, after calculating a node's global transformation information, you still have to multiply it with geometric transformations in order to find the position of node attribute in global coordinates.

Terminology:
Suffix "M" means this is a matrix, suffix "V" means it is a vector.
T is translation.
R is rotation.
S is scaling.
SH is shear.
GlobalRM(x) means the Global Rotation Matrix of node "x".
GlobalRM(P(x)) means the Global Rotation Matrix of the parent node of node "x".
All other transforms are described in the similar way.
The algorithm description:
To calculate global transform of a node x according to different InheritType,
we need to calculate GlobalTM(x) and [GlobalRM(x) * (GlobalSHM(x) * GlobalSM(x))] separately.
GlobalM(x) = GlobalTM(x) * [GlobalRM(x) * (GlobalSHM(x) * GlobalSM(x))];
InhereitType = RrSs:
GlobalRM(x) * (GlobalSHM(x) * GlobalSM(x)) = GlobalRM(P(x)) * LocalRM(x) * [GlobalSHM(P(x)) * GlobalSM(P(x))] * LocalSM(x);
InhereitType = RSrs:
GlobalRM(x) * (GlobalSHM(x) * GlobalSM(x)) = GlobalRM(P(x)) * [GlobalSHM(P(x)) * GlobalSM(P(x))] * LocalRM(x) * LocalSM(x);
InhereitType = Rrs:
GlobalRM(x) * (GlobalSHM(x) * GlobalSM(x)) = GlobalRM(P(x)) * LocalRM(x) * LocalSM(x);
LocalM(x)= TM(x) * RoffsetM(x) * RpivotM(x) * RpreM(x) * RM(x) * RpostM(x) * RpivotM(x)^-1 * SoffsetM(x) *SpivotM(x) * SM(x) * SpivotM(x)^-1
LocalTWithAllPivotAndOffsetInformationV(x) = Local(x).GetT();
GlobalTV(x) = GlobalM(P(x)) * LocalTWithAllPivotAndOffsetInformationV(x);
Notice: FBX SDK does not support shear yet, so all local transform won't have shear.
However, global transform might bring in shear by combine the global transform of node in higher hierarchy.
For example, if you scale the parent by a non-uniform scale and then rotate the child node, then a shear will
be generated on the child node's global transform.
In this case, we always compensates shear and store it in the scale matrix too according to following formula:
Shear*Scaling = RotationMatrix.Inverse * TranslationMatrix.Inverse * WholeTranformMatrix
