True Marker Rotations
This topic links to a Quaternion (Quats) calculator to give you proper marker and bone rotations.

Items:

In order to use the tool you must download and install Java3D from java3d.dev.java.net
Pick the installer package that matches your PC's chipset. For example: I have an Intel Proccessor and Graphics so I installed j3d-1_5_2-windows-i586.exe.
