traveling the shortest distance between two points on a sphere?

Hi all, I am trying to find the best way to move a point along a path of the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere. Probably a pretty basic geometry function but I am having trouble even starting. From what I can gather the way to solve this is through a Great Circle

Re: traveling the shortest distance between two points on a sphere?

I don't have time at the moment to try building it in ICE, but conceptually maybe this would be a start: 1. visualize your 2 points on a sphere 2. create a duplicate sphere at the same location as the original 3. rotate the new sphere about local X and Z until both points lie on the
