Performance:
- 2140 particles at 60 fps on i7-8750H Processor
Challenges and Difficulties:
Challenges and Difficulties:
- There were difficulties in making the hand model and particle emitter follow the camera but still remain visible and at a certain distance away from it. The hand model and particle emitter also desync when the camera is angle is too high or too low, so the camera angle is restricted from doing so.
- Framerate tanks when particles are rendered at certain viewing angles rotated around the y-axis (for example, the viewing angle opposite of the default camera angle). This is likely due to inefficient camera calculations at particular angles.
