--------- Is there a built in dot product function, I see that there is one for vcross() and vlen() but no vdot(). **** I am implementing an experimental lighting model, as such, I need the incident vector (denoted as I) from the camera position to the point currently being shaded. The vector I forms part of the formula in the lighting calculation. If there is such a vector I, is there a way to find out the position of the current camera so that I can calculate the vector I myself? Cheers -- Nicholas Yue ****

No you need to calculate both yourself. You can get every camera except the Editor camera in COFFEE just like you get any other object too. Please refer to the SDK documentation.

For the record, vdot() isn't needed since the ordinary * product is the dot product for a pair of vectors.
