My Role
Challenges
My first time working in 3D space. I exercised my trigonometry skills, to go between matrix spaces and calculated distances. Also first attempt using a particle system and post processing effects.
Problem: Crosshair Movement
Resolve: Translate between several spaces

Problem: Crosshair Movement
Resolve: Translate between several spaces
- Simulating StarFox movement along with shooting. The Crosshair is far away from the ship. however the user moves the crosshair(NOT the ship, the ship just moves to and looks at the crosshair). I had to translate matrixes into several different spaces such as camera space and apply my directions with my weights and the translate them back to world space to simulate screen space movement along with rotation.
