Quaternion
A Quaternion represents rotation and direction in 3D space, consisting of x, y, z, and w components. They are crucial for 3D movement and rotation, offering advantages such as avoiding gimbal lock. Unity's Quaternion Documentation
Properties
Returns the rotation of a Quaternion in Euler angles representation. Unity's Quaternion.eulerAngles Documentation
Represents a Quaternion for no rotation. Unity's Quaternion.identity Documentation
Returns a normalized copy of the Quaternion. Useful for ensuring the Quaternion has a magnitude of 1. Unity's Quaternion.normalized Documentation
Represents the w (scalar) component of the Quaternion. Unity's Quaternion.w Documentation
Represents the x component of the Quaternion. Unity's Quaternion.x Documentation
Represents the y component of the Quaternion. Unity's Quaternion.y Documentation
Represents the z component of the Quaternion. Unity's Quaternion.z Documentation
