I'm back with more nonsense!
I would like to represent a four-ring gimbal. I need it to act like a proper four-ring gimbal (that is, it must not suffer from gimbal lock) with minimal user interaction (by constraints or scripting). Now, I've done three-ring gimbals before, so I mostly know what I'm doing, but this is a new problem and I don't know where to begin.

@0111narwhalz, just know I can't help you at all with any of that, maybe @Mad Rocket Scientist?

I'm sorry to say I have no idea where you could begin with that.

I assume you've already looked at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbal_lock#Solutions
