How do I rotate a 3D object with pan/roll/tilt?

Hi, I may be dumb and just overlook the obvious, but how on earth does one rotate a 3D object on its pan/rol/tilt axis? I can add a rotate behavior, sure, but that just spins it like a sprite. I want it to turn like a globe.

Basically, i got a cube I want to rotate. That simple.

Help?

The official 3d object doesn't offer that feature.

You can either make your own with a Sprite Mesh, or a third party object.

Okay, basic feature, nevermind...

So that brings me to my next question: How do I create that with a mesh?

Here’s one example of a way to do it. It’s a bit old so it should be possible to do it in a cleaner way now.

The gist is you make the meshes by bending distort meshes around. Worst case you use a sprite per face. So you’d have a list of vertex positions that you’d rotate by multiplying by a 3x3 rotation matrix or something like that.

Other more recent examples of distort mesh 3D. But they are focusing on some other aspects.

Thanks, but non eof that is really helping in my particular case I am afraid. I guess I'll just have to do a little fakery. It won't be a spinning cube but I guess I can do something else.^^

This is the latest version of using distort mesh to make a sprite into a cube and rotating it by x,y and/or z. The angle, angular speed, and size of each cube can be set with variables.
