LookAt() functionality for FPS (Euler Angle) Camera
Author
I have a FPS style camera that accumulates Euler angles, and works well. But now I want to implement a lookAt( Vector ) method which will take in a vector, and then calculate an absolute rotation in Euler Angles to aim the camera at that point in space.
This is what I have so far:
Bbuutt... things aren't working. This is Cartesian Coordinate to Spherical coordinate conversion, or at least it's suppose to be. Does anything jump out as majorly wrong here?
