In Defense of Euler Angles in Game Programming
SessionBetween the Frames
DescriptionWhen teaching 3D rotations, the prevailing rationale is to avoid Euler angles due to gimbal lock. In many game situations, quaternion slerp produces undesirable effects while Euler angle interpolation actually results in the correct behavior. Students should learn to select rotation representations that produce appropriate motion for the application.
