Would anybody care about an "Introduction to Quaternions" article, or are there enough of them on the internet already? I'm thinking of deriving everything up to rotations and slerp in a beginner-friendly-but-still-precise way.

(boosts for coverage appreciated)

@lisyarus Might be helpful. I had to read 3 different tutorials and watch 2 videos before I got enough perspectives and examples to get it.

@lisyarus when i started using quaternions everything was smooth until i had to differentiate

@lisyarus definitely, if it’s not a video! I just don’t seem to absorb info from videos, whereas written (and illustrated, where appropriate) articles really work for me.

@lisyarus To date this has been the easiest to understand explanation of quaternions that I've come across: youtu.be/en2QcehKJd8

Unfortunately it is an hour long video of a powerpoint presentation so referring back to it is a pain. A text form article that takes notes from this would be amazing to have!

@lisyarus I *still* don't really understand them tbh so I'm always interested in more explanations.
