Type:DoubleQ: Difference between revisions

A DoubleQ is a double precision floating point representation of a Quaternion. It is commonly used for rotations which require higher precision.

Since FrooxEngine uses FloatQ to store rotations for Slot transforms, this data type is mostly for performing manual computations which can later be down-converted to their single precision equivalent (FloatQ).

Examples are the same as for FloatQ#Examples.
