Understanding Quaternions
When describing rotations of an object, the typical way would be through linear algebra and trigonometry. However, similarly to how complex numbers can be used to describe rotations in 2D, quaternions allow efficient and more pragmatic methods describing rotations in 3D. How It’s Done With Trigonometry Depending on the framework or software using, a lot of the work is already done for you with API available to you to perform rotations on shapes. But for a simple point in space rotating in about an origin, what would that look like? ...
