| − | The rotation of an object seems to "stick," when it is rotated all the way down or all the way up. This can also happen with the [[Camera|camera]] itself. It happens because the mathematics in rotational systems like Euler angles cannot make a consistent rotation solution when they point straight up or straight down. The Quake games avoid gimbal lock by not allowing the viewer to look straight up or straight down.
