How do you generate an orthogonal vector in 3D given you only know one vector (i.e. I know the direction the object is moving, but I want to generate a vector that's perpendicular to that vector). If convoluted math is involved, give it to me straight, I can take it.

A vector has an infinite number of orthogonal vectors. Do you want any one of these vectors or are there further requirements not mentioned in the original post?
