Torque towards Quaternion.
One thing that boggles my mind is how I could apply an angular force towards a given Quaternion.. It's been a long day and I can't think anymore.. Anyone have any ideas on how I could do this?
Well, a quaternion isn't exactly an absolute rotation in itself. It describes the difference between two rotations in a way that avoids gimbal-lock. In any case, you probably want some kind of damping algorithm- I assume you want it to slow down and stop at the correct value?
Yes, but setting the rotation seems to make the simulation less smooth. I have had the most success setting all the vectors using forces and velocities only, now I just have to focus on rotation.
