Hello. Please, help me. How to smoothly rotate a Spatial by 45 degrees Y axis with a single press of a key? I'm trying to make a camera like in this video:

On a project I have used a Spatial as pivot following the target and a camera (child) looking at it, then I just rotate the pivot when I need, the result was similar to the SmoothFollow script of Unity but just with nearly zero code.

But I think the best option could be to use spherical interpolation and quaternions to avoid problems.
