    I have a particles velocity vector

    I want to change that to a new velocity vector  - by changing the Pitch Angle

    From the Velocity Vector  I can get the HPB

    I can then change the HPB angles

    Q: How do get the new velocity vector, given the updated HPB.

    I've got a little further with this, but the more I read the more I think I'll need quaternions.

    And it doesn't appear that they are supported in C4Ds Python SDK.

    Any chance of that happening for R16?

    All I can tell you is I've been looking for them too and it seems they are not in the Python API...

    I think you might need to get into Matrix transformations for that..

    Hello,

    you can create a vector by creating a Matrix from your HPB values and applying this Matrix to a default vector:

      
  # create Matrix  
  m = c4d.utils.HPBToMatrix(hpb)  
    
  # default vector  
  vec = c4d.Vector(0,0,1)  
    
  # apply  
  vec = m * vec

    best wishes,
    Sebastian
