Does anyone know how to do this?

I;ve tried and I can't get my head around it. Basically, I've got an object wandering around a matrix, I just want it to face in the direction as it wanders about the place.

Everybody, Have some fun!

If you download this source code from my website, you should be able to use the same code i use in it to rotate the object as i used to rotate the camera.

Its a very small peice of code and shouldnt take long to download, its a basic first person shooter that allows you to move around a matrix, so it should be quite easy for you to see how it works and implement it in to your code.

The first link didnt work so use this one and then go to the source code page.

Okay, that's cool, but not actually what I was trying for and I don't see how I can convert it for my object. I need my object, the creature I have wandering around, to face in the direction it is going regardless of which way the camera is pointing.

Everybody, Have some fun!
