Multiplicative inverse method: q^(-1) = q^*/(qq^*)

void makeRotate( float angle, float x, float y, float z )

void makeRotate( float angle1, const Vec3& axis1, float angle2, const Vec3& axis2, float angle3, const Vec3& axis3)

void makeRotate( const Vec3& vec1, const Vec3& vec2 )

Make a rotation Quat which will rotate vec1 to vec2. Generally take adot product to get the angle between these and then use a cross product to get the rotation axis Watch out for the two special cases of when the vectors are co-incident or opposite in direction.

void getRotate( float& angle, float& x, float& y, float& z ) const

Return the angle and vector components represented by the quaternion

void getRotate( float& angle, Vec3& vec ) const

Return the angle and vector represented by the quaternion

void slerp( float t, const Quat& from, const Quat& to)

Spherical Linear Interpolation. As t goes from 0 to 1, the Quat object goes from "from" to "to".
