What is best way to grab rotation from API?

[LagoLuis]

Hi, what is the best way to get the correct rotation from leap to apply to an in game mesh? I'm developing for Unreal Engine using a leap motion plug in. Right now I am grabbing the direction and palm normal of my palm and plug that in but I see that direction holds both yaw and pitch and i think that is being add together in the set up I have so I'm wondering if there is another way to get rotation data.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26555040/yaw-pitch-and-roll-to-glmrotate for a better answer than I could give you.

Also, for the hand, the basis does give you 3 independent vectors (not available for tools as in the stack overflow question linked above).
