If I have a group 3d oriented at 0,0,0, and want to rotate it 90
degrees left or right (about the Y axis), I had assumed I would set
its orientation.y to pi/2.0 or -Pi/2.0.
When I do this, the group seems to move a bit more than 90 degrees.
Am I overlooking something obvious?
Setting Orientation directly is asking for trouble, IMHO. Just use
Group3D.Yaw with a rotation amount. Usually that's a fraction of PI.
I don't recall how much 90 degrees is, maybe PI * 0.25?
