Merry Christmas everyone! Long story short. The whole section done in one day. I decided not to follow tutorial and debug what I can.

This is how my sandbox for resume looks. The next step is to add some toys like experience, education, skills, portfolio, and so on… The cinematography course went smooth when it is about a code. Darren, moving all around and not afraid of any security guards yet. The Main camera follows him well.

The beginning scene is about 1 minute. It took three days to finish it by following a tutorial. How long it would take to finish it on my own? I think way longer. It is always a challenge to predict how long the project will take.

Today, I did this: 14 cameras became in one action movie.

I keep going with the cinematography course. I added 14 virtual cameras for the beginning cutscene, that going to blend together. Security cameras and guards, all around, will be involved in the game. Darren’s objective is the vault. Today was all team’s call. It lasts for 3 hours. We talked…

Today I finished the section “Complete Level” cutscene. This scene for a happy ending if a player managed to escape and win the level. I repeated how to use camera fade and animate movement between virtual cameras. Also, repeated UI elements. Back to Quaternions. Tony Miller posted in public chat today this article about mathematical explanations of a quaternion. Must see if you are interested in 3D. https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-strange-numbers-that-birthed-modern-algebra-20180906/

The “sleeping guard” scene is ready to go. It was a pleasure to work on a 3D scene when it is smooth and almost has no delay. The next cutscene is “Gameover.” Darren will get caught for what he is doing.

This is what I learned today. How to pause a game? It is easy if in your game moving parts depends on time. Time.timeScale = 0; To resume, or slow down change the value. Quaternions Confusing word for beginners in 3D. It simply stores rotation coordinates and have unique methods like: LookRotation Follows the direction Vector3 directionToFace = _sphere.position - transform.position; transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(directionToFace);

I will go through the design patterns that I learned: Singleton. It is the pattern that good to use when the functionality will have no clones. It is only one class for the whole program instantiated at the start. You can have global access to it without creating an instance…
