: Can anyone point me to some documentation that describes what needs to be
: done to have the camera at an arbitrary location facing in an arbirtrary
: direction?

I'm using the book "Virtual Reality Systems" (Addison-Wesley, 
ISBN 0-201-87687-6) as a reference.  It was the first book that really got
me understanding all this matrix stuff.  Admittedly it goes into some stuff
in rather more detail than is required (you should see the stuff on 
collision detection, it gets well deep!) but it's well worth the money.
£24.99 I believe it cost me - including a pair of funky red/green 3d specs!

Later,

JT
