Built-in Orient attribute?

POPs

I think a built-in vec4 Orient attribute would be handy. A quaternion that encodes a rotation. It’s less storage than a transform matrix and very useful for some tasks!

Thanks for the suggestion @josefpelz, this could be handy in a particle system for example.

Thanks for the suggestion Josef, also on the (long) list, as well as some GLSL helper functions to build and manipulate quaternions, similar to matrices.

I don’t think it’s documented but the copy SOP supports a orient attribute, haven’t gotten to it in POPs yet
