Thanks for the information, everyone. Although the test case I posted was
arbitrary, I did some other tests with matrices that were used for rotations and
translations. The upper-left 3x3 seemed to be OK, but the bottom row had
problems. I'm guessing that the inversion routine wasn't written to include
those.
I wanted the inverse so that I could move a part back to the origin and do
rotations in the local coordinate space. I think that what I will do is keep an
inverse matrix with the transformation matrix, and every time I do a
transformation (like rotate 45 degrees around the X axis) I will do the inverse
(-45 degrees) and apply it to the inverse matrix.
I suppose another possibility is to transform the origin and/or axis of rotation
and then use quaternions to specify rotation around a point other than the
origin, but it seems like that would have more opportunities for mistakes,
considering my limited experience with quaternions.
Thanks again for the help.

| (...) Quarternions are, IMO, a bad way to do what matrices do well. For a rotation you don't need to (and shouldn't) calculate the inverse by a routine. Just transpose (swap the off-diagonals) and you have the inverse. There's no point running (...) (18 years ago, 10-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) Hi Travis, Looking at the java version of your inversion routine I would guess that it will work for almost any 3x3 matrix + 1x3 translation (the 4x3 + 1 form). Where it will have problems is in matrices for which one or more of the (...) (18 years ago, 10-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)
