10 mins GameDev tips - Quaternions

In this 10 mins GameDev tips we are going to explore Quaternions in an intuitive way. Don't expect deep math derivations. However after watching this video you should have a good mental picture on how they could help you dealing with rotations and orientations in your game projects. I will start by describing euler angles and their issues following by a visual example of how quaternions works (using blender). Then we are going to see different applications of them in C# using unity.
