Confused by Euler? If you try rotating things in Blender, or other 3d software and end up in a tangle, you’ve run into a gimbal lock.

You’re not the only one: Euler Rotations can be a pain.

Have no fear: I will explain how Euler Rotations work (and why they are pronounced in a weird way).

You will also learn about Gimbal Lock, rotation order, plus you will see a guide on how to chose the best rotation order for your situation.

Basically, this video is all about Euler Rotations in Blender and why they seem to misbehave sometimes.

This is just the 1st part: in the next video, I will show you a few ways to fix some of the issues that you may run into.
