UNDERSTANDING GIMBALS & GIMBAL LOCK SOLUTIONS - 3D Animation Tutorial

[@SkittyAnimates]

Have YOU ever experienced gimbal lock?

[@HeybeGenclikMerkezi]

very often, but in 3ds max :((

[@Som3D]

It's impossible to not run into it when your a beginner 😆

[@SkittyAnimates]

The same solutions would work in 3ds Max! :)

[@HeybeGenclikMerkezi]

hi skitty, we need, tv quality acting scene, I mean it is good in quality but it can come out fast

[@SkittyAnimates]

Hi Alperen, are you looking for a tutorial on making acting shots quickly?

[@nicolobraghini1546]

Honestly I was searching for a video explaining gimbal lock in aeronautical scenarios, but that was an interesting perspective indeed

[@Engoneer]

We really need more tutorials like this everything is straight to the point quick and has everything you need to know

[@gmCriva]

Great explanation, made a complex problem very easy to understand!

[@ArloMonster]

Best explanation yet, and adorable kitty. Thanks 😺!

[@SkittyAnimates]

Kitty says thank you!

[@SwordArtUniverse]

Man, I wish this channel were more popular! This is really well put together information, and the production values are on point. Love all the game references too!

[@LiljaTamminen-pr7qp]

This is a really high-quality introduction to the problem

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

Animators Apollo astronauts 🤝 gimbal lock issues

[@HyperCubist]

Cool video - straight to the point :)

[@artypow1601]

You are actually posting very useful videos thank youuu 🤩

[@SkittyAnimates]

I'm glad I could help!

[@armandcaringi]

Very helpful video, thank you!

[@eddiechung675]

Underrated

[@shiruo9512]

I love your voice and the background music that you chose from Neil Automata. Thx for this tutorial!

[@GenTechArt]

thank you , this is very useful video !

[@Pixlebreath]

I have been looking for the casue/explination of this for so long, thank you!!!!

[@nandusonline]

1:15 talk about overachievement.

[@Shmurdee]

very informative, cute cat too!

[@SkittyAnimates]

Cute cat says thanks!

[@TheCrazzyToobinator]

Oh thank goodness... I was afraid 2D characters could suffer from gimbal lock but it's just 3D characters xD

[@SkittyAnimates]

Haha you're safe from this one!

[@Sozzah]

LMAO WTF

[@SKCodesForFun]

Thank you!!!

[@zoesunnysandell8346]

thank you- this is very clear and helpful!

[@MrSveis]

To the point, illustrative and a little entertaining. Very good!

[@NeroForte_]

You answered my long time question

[@rambabuchennu1301]

Thank you from India 🇮🇳

[@wenhanxie5461]

like the Pascal village bgm

[@khanglam761]

love youuuuuuuuuu

[@thesafaripictures3453]

great video and explanation was really fun

[@KartikKumar-fg2pf]

Very helpful thanks

[@SkittyAnimates]

Happy to hear it!

[@shadysafwatssm7279]

thanks for explaining - pretty cool - from Egypt ^_^

[@danarza8077]

nice explanation! :D and the examples are cool :)

[@SkittyAnimates]

Thank you! Glad I could help :)

[@theamazingknight5472]

This was a problem on Apollo 13. The spacecrafts erratic movement during the explosion could have caused the navigation computer to experience gimbal lock.

[@ПарвизЭминов-з8и]

Euler Filter is help! Thanks!

[@jasonwilliams8730]

Wow great video thanks so much!

[@SkittyAnimates]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SRJAnimation]

I learned it the hard way by experimenting for a long time I had the gimble issue in my 1st animation I just key it in every frame to sort it and did it for the next whole year until I understand it

[@davidantoniodelarosahernan1461]

Excelent video. Thanks for the explanation :D

[@SkittyAnimates]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MusashiDonoo]

Your cat is cute :)

[@umurkaragoz]

Cats make everything cuter.

[@Pablo360able]

clearly, the best solution for gimbal lock is to just perform all rotations using quaternion multiplication

[@Aditya90sKZ]

When the hand goes inside the body like that there's a tingly pain on the right side of the brain

[@michaeloboh9008]

your explanaations are really on point... makes a looot of sense... thanks skitty... i wish i could visit my online anim mentor when i come to uk would it be ok ps? 8)))

[@ธารินทร์เวชชาภินันท์-ร5ฤ]

Every project

[@harsh9558]

Thx

[@alba145]

Is there any chance to fix it once the animation is done?? (the Euler filter didn't fix it all) thanks

[@SkittyAnimates]

You would have to go through your poses and shift the curves where it starts to lock, until the Euler filter recognizes where it's supposed to go. It might work after the first pose, but you might need to fix a few. Just keep applying the filter after you adjust each pose until it clicks. Good luck!

[@manda3dprojects966]

I use Quaternion Rotation and it's better than Euler Rotation.

[@SkittyAnimates]

Only in certain circumstances. Quaternions can't rotate past 360° so you're limited in what actions you can animate.

[@MistorGator13]

Ok, I have a questionS! I didn't understand ANYTHING! It's ok, I still like the video. I'm trying to figure out the radar in this simulated jet.

[@kangoroo_roger]

why even is this hierarchy of axis needed? why can't they rotating independently of each other?

[@KulbirAhluwalia]

I thought Maya would use Quaternions to prevent Gimbal lock...

[@SkittyAnimates]

Maya does actually support quaternions, they just aren't always a feasible option. Quaternion keys don't support tangent handles, making the graph editor difficult to use, and you can't animate anything that rotates more than 360° (like a spin or a backflip). Both Euler & quaternions have pros and cons, but the lack of graph editor control makes Euler angles a better default.

[@TaigiTWeseDiplomat--Formosan]

:000

[@ytubeprashant]

Please make video again but in easy way to understand. In animators point of view. Not in scientific way.

[@LordDursh]

no hay un gorila en la intro, dislike

[@SkittyAnimates]

Sir this is a gimbal lock video

[@BlackieSootfur]

​@@SkittyAnimates i tthink they're referring to the guerillacg video about gimbal lock. It has a gorilla in the intro
