this is only because, as usual, your answer is more complete....
What you're after is Eigen::Map.
float array[3];
....
Map<Vector3f> m(array);
Now use m as if it were a usual vector.
If you only want to construct a temporary Map object in an _expression_
you can use the Map() static method (you need trunk for that, beta1's
not enough). For example if you want to double every float in the
array, you can do:
Vector3f::Map(array) *= 2;
In order to benefit more from vectorization (which doesn't apply to
Vector3f anyway, but say Vector4f or VectorXf), use a 128bit aligned
array and use Map<Vector4f, Aligned> or Vector4f::MapAligned().
