What is a suitable way to use quaternions in my application? Say I want the initial orientation of my teapot to be <90, 35, 80> (all degrees)... do I convert this Euler angle to a quaternion? Furthermore, what about if I want to rotate the teapot by degrees later on. Do I convert the Euler angle again to a quaternion or is there a way to create a quaternion directly (without Euler angles) just by knowing x,y,z? Thanks!
