Ok, I think I've got it now. I made a mistake yesterday night:
If you first rotate the standard cone about y and then about x then the
angles must be:
1) y: -13.34
2) x: +18.43
If you do it the way Kevin did it, I think the angles should be:
1) y: -22.62
2) z: +53.13
(Kevin: the rotation about y is *clockwise* 22.62 degrees, so it's really
-22.62 degrees)
Nathan: I can't figure out how you got 76.66 degrees about z-axis. In the
reverse transformation that must have been your first rotation, so either
you rotated the transformed cone onto the xz plane (-53.13 degrees or 126.87
degrees) or onto the yz plane (36.87 degrees or -143.13 degrees).
*********************
In the lecture (page 132) we had the example with the cylinder. The given
solution was:
Rotate about z by -19.47
Rotate about x by +45
I am pretty sure it should be -45 degrees about x actually.
