  • why is the x-Rotation on one circle, the y-Rotation on two circles and the z-Rotation all 3 circles? thanks

  • @psistarpsi80 The axes we are referring to here are axes of the object, not the world. The circles are used to exaggerate the motions of each individual axis. For a computer to calculate an object's position, it solves each axis individually, starting with x, then y, then z. these solutions move around like a gimbal, rather than a rigid 3 axis rig.

  • @psistarpsi80 cirle is better understandable then an axis :)

    

  • As a mathematician I have no idea what you mean by axis :). For me an axis of rotation is fixed! And well, it's an axis, not a circle!!

  • I have been aware of this problem for a looong time now but I never knew that it was the actuall gimbal lock. Thanks for clearing that out for me! :)

  • how to fix it?why not just use TCB rotation?

  • how to fix it?

  • Very helpful explanation, thanks!

  • @drbackjack sience is ok, you cnat really love science.
