Hi,

Can anyone help with this problem, I think it's quite simple but I
can't suss it out...

I've got a spaceship object and I've got it rotating and moving etc.
but it moves relative to the WORLD and I need it to move in the direction
it's pointing. So if I've got a rotation vector, how do I use it to get the
ship to translate/move in that direction?? (yeah, I know I need to brush up
on my 3D but I've been playing with 2D so far.... :)

Cheers!

Kev.
