ODP: [godot-tutors] 3D Resources

Hi Chris,

I work with university students in game development, so i expect them to know programming.

What we do is mostly vector math. Ray tracing, collisions, game physics. So there will be no visually spectacular things.
This year I’ll do my best to upload everything to Git hub and share it here.
As a beginner level example I would probably implement orbital physics, based on simple gravity equations.

It is a easy math to get things moving on the screen.
Unfortunately starting things in 3D you must have 3D camera, and that requires going through matrix operations, and quaternions. And that is hardly beginner stuff.

Most of things I’ll be doing will be in 2D as it is much easier for visualization.

Hope it helps.

Temat: [godot-tutors] 3D Resources

Hi all,

I've been focusing on 2D development with my students, but as they get more experienced, they'll want to dive into 3D. I'm looking for ideas on how to gently introduce the concepts to them. I know some of you are working with older students, but do you have any beginner-level content or experiences to share?

Suggestions, resources, examples?

Thanks,
Chris
