So I am making a raytracer following the very helpful [online book of Gabriel Gambettta][1] but I stumble on the rotation matrix part. My linear algebra background is 3Blue1Brown video series "The essence of Linear Algebra". I simulate a camera placed at the origin that's looking forward ie whose direction is the vector `{0,0,1}`. Let's say I am given another camera direction with direction `{a,b,c}`. From what I understand if I find the rotation matrix R that takes as an input `{0,0,1}` and spits out a normalized `{a,b,c}` as an output. Then I can apply that rotation matrix to all my rays in order to rotate them. I can't get my head around on how to find R. Any help/explanation/correction much welcome. I am in a similar situation than [the person aksing this question][2] except that he seems to know already what needs be done and is just asking about if his rationale is good.
