C# Quaternions in Unity! - Intermediate Scripting Tutorial

Quaternions are a system of rotation that allowed for smooth incremental rotations in objects. In this video, you'll learn about the quaternion system used in Unity and will explore a few of the methods that allow you to work with it!

For the past week I was trying to understand how does it work... I even went to the professor at the university for a long talk about them and it left me with more mess in my mind than before. Thanks a lot for that simple tutorial that shows only things that I needed. You saved me next week of understanding complicated math calculations. Cheers!

"euler angles are "slightly" easier"

[youssefkassem]

POV: U never really understood how quaternions work so u decided ull finally learn it

Mike Geig rocks!
Always breaks it down so simply.

[Salmontres]

What should we call spherical interpolation... it's such a hard phrase to keep repeating?

Slacker, in the back of class: call it sLeRp xD

This is just how to use some unity functions not what quaternions are, or how they calculated, or how they are converted to Euler, or what gimbal lock is and how quaterions avoid this

[marcel-loif]

you guys are amazing
you literally solved all of my problems

Lol I can remember when I was younger I didn’t understand quaternions at all so I just made a center game object and a child a certain distances way and the rotated the center object. Had almost the same effect as this.

Where is "public Transform target" in the LookAtScript set? The target has to be the orb, right?

How do I set a specific value for example of Rotation Y. I explain myself for example I have a cube and I want that its rotation in X becomes 95 ? and that if I press another button that it becomes 35 for example.

"Because euler angles are slightly easier to understand"...Slightly...Are you sure about that?

May I ask a question: "where to download the project in the tutorial?", really love the "Post Process Layer" :)

I copy and pasted the gravity code to test changing it from localRotation to rotation and there was no difference in how it behaved.
Why use localRotaion for anything if most if not all other rotations when making a game comes from other objects in world space?

Why do you use Slerp() within Update() function? It only interpolates from start to end of each of the frames

Nothing quite sets my ADHD off so quickly off like Unity's tutorials.

[hurhurhur]

Is Euler really pronounced "oiler"? I've always said "yewler", but never actually heard it aloud before.

[magnusm]

What does he mean at the end when he says you should never alter components independently?

[THE_ONLY_GOD]

How is the transform offset acted on by that LookRotation to calc that? For example, if the diff between transforms is 1, 2, 3. How does that translation diff get turned into a Quaternion rotation? Thanks in advance!

[ContinuedBread]

what should I do to limit how far an object can rotate?

[LKASTI]

In the LookAtScript, what does the variable relativePos variable represent?
