Does this mean there is no \theta_y, i.e. changing \theta_y would not make any change on the model?

PsychotiK

A bit confused on how this was able to be achieved in the example in class

Koke_Cacao

So the gimbal lock comes up when we compose rotations. That is, our rotation axis got rotated too!

The circled matrix is a rotation (90-theta_x-theta_z degrees clockwise) in 2D

Changing y should make a change. I think it is that you need to change 'much' in y to make a 'small' change.

Shep

I understand how gimbal lock can occur on a physical gimbal, where the axes are not locked. But I don't understand how it can happen even if you use global axes?

yumz

I feel like the rotation matrices we used are already rotations around the fixed global axis. (correct me if I'm wrong though)

large_goobler

I also wasn't sure why gimbal lock occurs, and why blender (as seen in class) enables it to happen if there is a method to prevent it

alexz2

Gimbal lock was really confusing

muruc

seems we can use quaternion to avoid gimbal locl?
