proper rotation about a vector
Author
hopefully this will be quick and painless...
I have 2 vectors one is a "target" and the other is a "position" what i want to do is to have the "position" rotate about the "target"...
I have my rotating working but i can only get is to rotate around (0,0,0) i know i some how need to incorporate the "target" im just not sure where / how
here is what i got / have...
If I follow what you're asking then rotations are always about an axis passing through the origin. If you want a rotation about an axis that doesn't pass through the origin then you need a translation so that a point on the axis is the origin, do the rotation then translate it back.
