rotate to face point?
Author
hello,
i''m using the irrlicht engine, and i''m trying to figure out how i''d rotate a model to face a point...can anyone help? any code/equations would be great (they don''t have to be specific to the engine). thanks.
Google for "billboards" to find out a way to align an object to face a point (or camera, in the case of billboards)
Take a look on my website, I''ve a simple example using billboarding.

i''ve tried every billboard rotation example i''ve found, and nothing has worked. any help?
Keep trying, I guess! Here is a good site for it:

It explains it in a pretty easy to understand way, imo

thanks very much for the help, but the billboard techniques just don''t seem to work for me. i only need to rotate the model around it''s y axis...i thought getting the direction to the point and then setting the model''s y rotation value to the direction vector''s y would work, but it doesn''t...any other help?
