Quaternions in first person?

Hey Shane,

I am new to Game Development, so I might be wrong here.

I would have thought that you need to position the camera just inside or in front of the player in order to get the effect of first person. Either that, or if it is possible to control the camera as though you are controlling a player.

In Nick's course, we position the camera above the player, looking down. You need to adjust the Vector3 to have less on the y-axis.

This might already seem obvious to you. Like I said, I am new to Game Development. I am trying to help the best I can, because this is a new course on Treehouse and there are not many experts around yet :D

Keep up the good work

I agree with John Steer-Fowler (in addition you'd need to rotate the camera to be forward facing and also child it to the main frog gameobject and disable or delete the camera follow script), but you may want to consider the design implications a bit. The main thing that comes to mind is what is intuitive from a control point of view for first person. You wouldn't want to have left and right turns as fast as we have in Nick's demo, it's would quickly make you feel dizzy. But then maybe you do want that and that adds to the "hectic drama". There are many many ways of doing first person depending on the game and really down to personal preference of your design direction. Do you want mouse rotation, fixed rotation along axes, keyboard only input...? No way is better than another they just have different approaches depending on what you want to achieve so it's just some higher level thinking on how you want it to feel moving as the frog. You may even want to try pulling in the first person prefab (included in Unity standard assets) and using that as the camera instead (attaching the frog's scripts to it).
