My ultimate goal would be to use instancing for those cylinders since I have many of them
so I’m trying to write the lookAt code in a shader. This is my current attempt: https://jsfiddle.net/tfethwfe/65/
I just don’t understand how to use the distance between the 2 vectors to scale the cylinder
all the way between them.
Also, is it possible to eliminate the quaternion as a uniform and do it as well inside the shader?
Couldn’t you just merge the geometries (two boxes and the cylinder) into a single one and then use Instancing? I guess this would make things a little bit easier…
I’m afraid I cannot because each cylinder has it’s own data and I need to be able to select it individually.
Also, potentially I have many boxes and many cylinders (a graph) and each box can have multiple cylinders to other boxes so I cannot just combine those 3.
