In this video we lay the groundwork needed to represent and transform positions and 3D space, we define the relationship between our 3D space and the screen coordinates, and we setup a data structure to hold our test cube geometry.
Video
The tutorial video is on YouTube here.
- Fix an error in
Mat2.h(multiplication of vectors with matrices) 0:16 - Introducing 3D space 1:57
- Implementing the
Vec3class 3:19
- Inherits from
Vec2(z-component added) - Overload all operators for 3D
- Advantage of inheritence here: enables passing
Vec3s into functions that acceptVecc2&references
- Inherits from
- Calculating the length of a 3D vector (i.e., in R3) 4:57
- The
Mat33D Matrix class 5:57 - Choosing a coordinate system 7:37
- We choose a Left Handed coordinate system
- And start with defining World Space (=object space for now) and Screen Space
- Setting up a World Space (Chili likes to call it Pube Space) 10:08
- We set the Origin (0,0,0) of world space in the middle of the screen
- - This makes for better (easier) scaling
- We will use NDC (Normalized Device Coordinates)
- - Meaning: we don't use pixel values, but normalized values relative to screen size
- - (e.g. x=1.0 means far right end of screen, x=-1.0 for far left end of screen
- - Main advantage: become independent from screen size
- - Note: Direct 3D and OpenGL use NDC
- We will use the Pre-Clip 3D space definition: z=1.0 indicates half cube depth
- Transforming vertices from Pube Space to Screen Space 14:01
- Introducing the
PubeScreenTransformerclass
- Introducing the
- Testing: drawing a cube 17:07
-
Cubeclass created as a data structure to hold the vertices
-
- Representing lines: vertex container + vector of indices 18:34
- This strategy avoids having to transform vertices multiple times
- Same concept as IndexBuffer used in Direct3D to draw primitives 20:40
- Make the
Cubeclass return aIndexedLineListstruct
- Code for drawing: transform the vertices and iterate through the index buffer 21:50
- Limitations observed: not square and not 3D. Why? 23:22
- Screen size is not square, we'll use a quick fix for now
- We still lack 3D visual cues because we don't account for the z-component yet (we're still in Orthographic Projection)
