Quaternions are a useful rotation structure, but they are not directly linked to the ability to angle/axis in the slightest, it's just that Houdini offers an angle/axis overload to a quaternion constructor.
And from the standpoint of practical application, my goal with this particular series of videos is to make the topic more approachable for the average person. As mentioned in my lessons - for those looking for an in-depth definition of quaternions and how they operate within the world of mathematics, they ought to refer to other websites and resources which focus on the intricate explanations behind quaternion rotation. These videos are designed for the artist who wants to leverage quaternion rotations in their everyday workflow, and we start off with this quick tip by seeing how we can use the values found within the geometry spreadsheet to affect rotation.
Thanks Paulo! There's a lot more to understand about Quaternions than what I'm mentioning here in this video, but I'm glad that this offers you a place to start
Thank you for finally helping me understand quaternions... all it took was a little cheese

Next please cover the vex function to return an array of all the cheese. Because after watching a his, I’m hungry!
The way you explained Quaternions in a practical way is the best I've found so far, I was struggling to understand the concept. Thank you.
