AI is mainly championed by ppl who bluffed their way through life, never understanding how anything works. When AI promised to offload thinking from humans, they went "Finally, we can ALL drop the act!" only to be met with blank stares. So it's either embrace AI or admit they are failures as people.

Subtract one position from the other and normalize to get your direction vector

Phil Fortier @icefallgames.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

*then convert quaternion to euler angles

000

Phil Fortier @icefallgames.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Your linear algebra library would probably include some function to calculate the rotation (as a quaternion, or Euler angles) based on the lookat vector and the "up" vector.

000

Phil Fortier @icefallgames.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Yeah, that's typically called a "look at" rotation. In addition to the vector from the camera to the interest point, you need an additional piece of data, that is which direction is "up". Presumably that would either be (0, 0, 1) or (0, 1, 0) depending what the fbx convention is (or your engine's).

200

Phil Fortier @icefallgames.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

I'm guessing those are the Euler angles. I don't know what language your engine is in, or how you're representing rotations, but presumably there is some way to express that with Euler angles?

100

Phil Fortier @icefallgames.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Why 3 angles? One for each axis? So like an angle for each 2d projection?

Tried to turn off copilot autosuggest because it just provides random garbage suggestions, and it suggested that copilot might not actually be installed (as I'm chatting with it).

I've always loved the title screen of the first Space Quest game (also the first #adventuregame I ever played). So I figured I'd recreate it in #blender and animate it.
