SteerBehavior - Vehicle facing the wrong direction about yuka HOT 3 CLOSED

Is there a way to rotate the model while the steering behavior is active?

Yes, you have to make sure that the default forward direction of the model is (0,0,1). That means when you load the model and add it to the scene, it should look along the positive z-axis.

Ideally, you fix this in Blender and just import the updated model. If you don't want to do that, transform the model's geometry via rotateX(), rotateY() or rotateZ()(depending on your use case). More information about the geometry API at the three.js docs.

Hi @Mugen87 thanks for the reply! I managed to get around this by rotating the model by 180 degrees using the threejs editor :>

Right, this was what I tried before editing the gltf itself. But if I'm not mistaken, since I had to call dog.scene.matrixAutoUpdate = false; to allow YUKA to do the calculations instead, using rotation.x or rotateX() did not apply. Is there a way for YUKA to handle rotations manually? I also tried rotateTo but since the steering behavior is applied to the model, it didn't rotate - https://mugen87.github.io/yuka/docs/Vehicle.html

You are using the Object3D interface. When using the methods from BufferGeometry, the calculations of Yuka do not interfere.

Check out how a cone geometry is transformed in order to achieve a proper alignment:
