Well if they are really vectors then they are origin based, so all you
really need to preserve is the scale. Take the scale of the second vector
and apply it to the normalized version of the first. This will effectively
use the rotation of the first and the scale of the second.
Vector3d temp = new Vector3d(first);
temp.normalize();
temp.scale(second.length());
second.set(temp);

Subject: [JAVA3D] Rotating One Vector Into Another
Hi
I have two vector3ds. I want to rotate one so that it falls along the same
line as the other. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I
know how to compute the angle between the two vectors, but how do I go from
there to a rotation matrix? Thanks in advance.
B.D.
