[Closed] How to find the angle betwen two vectors
I got two vectors A and B as Point3, how could I find the 3 eulerangles between them, I look in the manual but I can’t find a “simple” method to do it.
What I wan’t to do is to copy the result rotation on to other object rotations.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I think you can use quats. Here’s my idea: calculate cross product of A and B. Put its x,y,z into quat’s x,y,z. Thats your rotation vector, now you need angle. Equation is very simple:
ang = acos((A.xB.x+A.yB.y+A.zB.z) / ((length A)(length B))). ang is w part of quat. Now simply convert quat to eulerangles using “as eulerangles”. I think it should work but never tried that.
There is actually only one angle between two vectors (in relation to eachother). You can get that value like this:
ang = acos (dot vec1 vec2)
Note that the vectors must be normalized.
To get the angle of a vector in worldspace you’re gonna hafta use some trig.
