Hi, I am trying to rotate a model to always face towards a point in world space, no matter where about it is positioned itself. To do this, I need to work out the axis vector and angle values to use with the D3DXQuaternionRotationAxis function. This is the part i'm really struggling on, can anyone help ?

I finally managed to sort it, I don''t fully understand what i''ve done, but it works, so will leave it at that for now.

If anyone else struggles with the same problem, the solution that worked for me is below :

void q_rot_to(D3DXVECTOR3 *p1,D3DXVECTOR3 *p2,D3DXQUATERNION *q)
{
D3DXVECTOR3 dif,v,axis;
float angle;

dif=*p2-*p1;
v=D3DXVECTOR3(0,-1,0);
D3DXVec3Normalize(&dif,&dif);
D3DXVec3Cross(&axis,&v,&dif);
q->x=axis.x;
q->y=axis.y;
q->z=axis.z;
angle=D3DXVec3Dot(&v,&dif);
q->w=acos(angle);
}
