Hello! I am working on an animation that shows how an actual rotation is handled in openGL. So far, I have a shape that starts at a position and I have it animated moving back and forth from the original spot to the origin and back… however, I need to show the translation to the origin, then it needs to stop, animate the required rotation, then get translated back to the starting position. I am having a hard time understanding how I can actually stop when I am at the origin…I thought I had handled it but for some reason, the shape is not stopping or rotating… any ideas?
Thanks!
