you all probably dont care at all but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any help you can give me
@Ishaan Beckham Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
How is the forward vector x and the right vector z? The camera is at local space with x going to the right, so how is x going into the screen in world coordinates?
Oh I see. In most videos I do I use Y as the up vector, X as the forward vector, Z as the right vector. Other engines use Z as the up vector. Some engines use Y as the forward vector. None of these are more 'correct' than the others, they're just different conventions. Ultimately you must transform the game's coordinate system into that which is required by the video card. In this case we assume that the video card wants -z to be forward, y up, x right. (Why -z forward and not something else? I imagine because they wanted it to be right-handed and also have x horizontal and y up like when you graph functions in Algebra class.) (Note: I say 'video card' but I actually should have said 'rendering API' since this is OpenGL's convention, but Direct3D has a different convention.) So we're exchanging between two different coordinate systems, one with -z forward, x right, y up (the API's desired system) and one with x forward, z right, y up (our game's convention) That's why I called the game's coordinates F R U instead of X Y Z, to avoid that confusion.
Fredrik Westman Up for the camera isn't always the same as up for the world. Suppose the camera is looking down, then "up" for the camera is actually forward for everyone else. It's actually the up vector in the camera's local space. It points up for the camera, wherever that happens to be for other people. If the camera is upside down, its up vector could be down for others.
Jorge Rodriguez hmm I guess I am just a bit confused because at 9:14 you say the parameter is the camera up. Oh well, i take you word for it :) thanks for the reply :) !
By the way, I think that "SHIFT" that keeps popping up has to do with the software you're recording this with. It is probably set to show which keys you press, which is helpful in certain types of videos. There is probably a setting to disable that feature.
+Neil Roy It was my Wacom tablet driver. I've also seen it happen at work on artists computers. There's no way to disable it, it's just a crappy driver. I switched from Windows to Mac recently though so it doesn't show up in my more recent videos.
Jorge Rodriguez I had a feeling you used a tablet. I tried using photoshop to do what you do (just out of curiosity) with a mouse and it was sloppy at best. :) Great videos anyhow. I managed to use some of this to create "cheap frustum", where I only check if the objects are off the left or right sides (not the other planes). Mainly because it is a fairly simple game, and after some work I got it working and my frame rate jumped from 131FPS to over 800FPS... it was actually running too fast, I I implemented VSync for now, I will add in proper timing later. I also started to remember some of your math off by heart which I thought was nice for a change, I am starting to understand the relationships and WHY some of this math works (which is key to remembering it, at least for me). I'll sit and think about it and WHY it works until I "get it". ;)
A question: I would like to find a way to make a "camera" using matrices. Im not using openGL, so the matrices aren't already there. Do you have any way to help?
Your engine will have matrices of some kind regardless of whether it uses OpenGL or something else. I don't know if I can speak to those details though because I probably don't know anything about the engine you use.
Quentin Jankosky Holy bonkers how do you expect to do any camera stuff in that? You're probably better off not doing matrices but just a single 2d vector, unless you want to do rotations for some crazy reason.
Jorge Rodriguez I Enjoy using retro material, and it does work. Iv'e done 3D rotations and scaling on the TI-82, but I wanted to try making a first-person perspective shape explorer. This is why I'm asking for your help, and if it doesn't work there, I'll try it in C++ or something.
A matrix will transform a vector from its local space into the global space. If you invert it then it will transform a vector from global space into its local space. Try the video on coordinate systems: th-cam.com/video/-Fn4atv2NsQ/w-d-xo.html
Amazing super cool. Thanks! The “shift” moment is hilarious
OK, I died when you drew a little box around "shift". Good job keeping it interesting

@Kaysen Tomas instablaster :)

@Ishaan Beckham It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
@Kaysen Tomas You are welcome :D
Man I'm from Brazil, please don't stop this.I study computer science and their lesson
are AMAZING!! (I'm so sorry about my poor english).
Guys, there's an Elephant in the room.
There you are, Shift!
"Here you are, shift!"
xDDD
Thank you! You realy help me through my computer graphics class.
Programmer art is awesome! Nice job on the video as always.
Beautiful elephant!
I don't want to know what kind of flea can eat from an elephant
How is the forward vector x and the right vector z? The camera is at local space with x going to the right, so how is x going into the screen in world coordinates?
Not sure what part of the video you're talking about?
Jorge Rodriguez Hi Jorge, at 5:26 you draw the axises and you said that x is usually the forward vector, but isn't that direction the z axis?
Oh I see. In most videos I do I use Y as the up vector, X as the forward vector, Z as the right vector. Other engines use Z as the up vector. Some engines use Y as the forward vector. None of these are more 'correct' than the others, they're just different conventions. Ultimately you must transform the game's coordinate system into that which is required by the video card.

Question: The variable vecCamUp, didnt you already have that one ? from the parameter vecUp ?
Fredrik Westman Up for the camera isn't always the same as up for the world. Suppose the camera is looking down, then "up" for the camera is actually forward for everyone else. It's actually the up vector in the camera's local space. It points up for the camera, wherever that happens to be for other people.

Sorry, I don't always express things very well :)

Thank you man!
You are awesome (for _all_ of these videos)
Thanks :)

No no no no, Im making a simple engine for, brace yourself, my TI-82
Jorge Rodriguez So yeah, Im doing this in BASIC
Quentin Jankosky Holy bonkers how do you expect to do any camera stuff in that? You're probably better off not doing matrices but just a single 2d vector, unless you want to do rotations for some crazy reason.

i don't get the invert part why do you have to invert it that's wierd ?
A matrix will transform a vector from its local space into the global space. If you invert it then it will transform a vector from global space into its local space. Try the video on coordinate systems: th-cam.com/video/-Fn4atv2NsQ/w-d-xo.html
