    Hi guys. Any help appreciated.

    I have this problem with rotating 3d globe. I tried to use LookAt function with no result.
    Ok so, object is 3d globe (understand earth). I need it it to show any given point in camera view. So if I pick country, say canada, earth will rotate so i can see canada in the middle of camview.
    LookAt function seems to rotate Z axis so it points to point in space. I need custom vector (canadapos - earthcenter) to "look at" my camera position.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Quaternion.LookRotation takes 2 parameters, try that, specifiying different vectors for the different axes
