If I don't use the pivots points after the SVD, then I loose controll of their functionality. I also need to think of this when I set up the local space after SVD. Because it would be done twice. But it doesn't matter. I have thought about it, and I'm pretty sure that the pivot point information does not concern the SVD step. That is stored in the translation column. I just think it's strange that I can't find any websites that doing this.

Thanks for your help.

Is there any one else who knows a tutorial or paper about this?
That is, how to use SVD when there are pivot points in the transformation matrix?
( what I'm really after is the step that I think does not involve SVD, the translation )
