Time for Action: Translations in World Space vs Camera Space

Let's cover an example showcasing these differences in action:

1. Open ch04_01_model-view-translation.html in your browser:

2. From a distance, we are looking at the positive z-axis of a cone located at the origin of the world. There are three sliders that allow you to translate either the world or the camera on the x, y, and z axes, respectively. The world space is activated by default.
3. By looking at the World matrix on the screen, can you tell where the origin of the world is? Is it [0, 0, 0]?

5. If we want to get closer to the cone, we need to move the center of the world toward the camera. We know that the camera is...
