Matrix from direction + position

Depends what kind of meaning you want that position and direction to have with respect to the resulting transformation. The typical use for those inputs is to construct a view matrix (you will need a third "up" vector to give meaning to the basis, as otherwise there are an infinite number of choices).

This is generally done in exactly the same fashion that gluLookAt performs its calculation (that link describes the math behind it). You may need to adjust slightly for your needs.

That's exactly what I needed man! Much appreciated!
