Talk:Quaternion
the calculus might not work as expected....
hmm....

Indeed, it's wrong - I've submitted a corrected version.

I thought it might be multiplying instead of adding, couldnt't find clear examples or description in the universal-wiki though. :(
It does work for simple rotations of 90degrees. :)
In the only succesfull attempt at a double quaternion, I rotated around the x/y diagonal 90 degrees.
(That would be the vector 1x,1y,0z ?)
I ended up with Q = 0.707 0.0 0.707 0.383 though.(x,z pos or negative depending on up/down, left/right orientation)
Which looked to be working ok in-game. But according to the vector approach I probably ended up with a bigger z-angle than I intended. --Arexack 16:55, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Why can I not multiply a 180degree turn with another?
(eg. Q1[0 0 0 1] * Q2[1 0 1 0] = Qt[1 0 1 0]) --Arexack 17:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
