So anyone knows how to find vectors for these blue lines?

Your link is faulty.

Please don't PM me with questions. Post them in the forums for everyone's benefit, and I can embarrass myself publicly.

Take the average direction of the two red lines and rotate it 15 degrees to each side to get the directions of the blue lines. [EDIT: Perhaps I didn't understand what you mean by "are angled at 30 degrees". Please tell draw the angles you are talking about.]

ofc every blue line is angled at 30 degrees. geez i forgot to draw a bottom line of that triangle (that with blue lines since its a cut triangle) so it looks that angles are from circle itself to segment.

I could build up a matrix where red line unit vec is front z+ is up vector and crossproduct of these two is right vec then i could just yaw it. But i am looking for easier solution

just was looking at this and you are right alvaro  making average of these two red lines and making a full trianglei can rotate this avg red line by 30 degs, thanks

OK I will gladly post a solution
