Subject: [Virtools] Flipping axis.

Hi,

I've been hitting my head against this seemingly simple puzzle for some time & I wonder if there is a genius out there who can resolve it.

In the attached .cmo you'll find two 3dFrames (who at the moment are looking at each other.)

The effect I am after is that of a moving entity whose local oreintation is set such that its `Direction` is always pointing down towards the centre of the sphere.

The puzzle is how to resolve this direction without the Flipping effect at the poles.

So far I can not get past : "As the entity moves over each pole the other two axis flipp around".

See attached.

Thanks for your help.
