Ever wondered how objects rotate on an axis in Blender? That little XYZ gimbal in the top corner might seem confusing, but here’s an easy way to understand it!

🖊️ Imagine pushing a pencil through an object along an axis—now twist the pencil. That’s how rotation works!
🎡 A Ferris wheel rotates on the Y-axis, but if you rotate it on X or Z, it turns into nightmare fuel.
🚪 Doors open on the Z-axis, but if they also rotated on X or Y, things would get chaotic.
🕰️ A clock’s second hand rotates on the X-axis, but if you try Y, it sticks out awkwardly.

While real-world mechanics differ from 3D software, these examples help visualize XYZ rotation in Blender and game engines.

💬 Can you think of other examples that illustrate this concept? Let us know in the comments!
