In this section, we discussed the purposes of both 2D and 3D coordinate systems, their differences, and their uses in Unreal Engine 4. Furthermore, we took some time to go through the four perspectives offered in the engine: perspective, top, side, and front. Lastly, we looked at how to transform actors in our 3D world. With the concepts of 2D and 3D coordinate systems underneath our belt, you can now move forward and learn more about scalars and vectors.

Overview of this book
This book gives readers practical insight into the mathematical and physics principles necessary to properly implement physics within Unreal Engine 4.
Discover how to manipulate physics within Unreal Engine 4 by learning basic real-world mathematical and physics concepts that assist in the implementation of physics-based objects in your game world. Then, you'll be introduced to PhAT (Physics Asset Tool) within Unreal Engine 4 to learn more about developing game physics objects for your game world.
Next, dive into Unreal Engine 4’s collision generation, physical materials, blueprints, constraints, and more to get hands-on experience with the tools provided by Epic to create real-world physics in Unreal Engine 4. Lastly, you will create a working Vehicle Blueprint that uses all the concepts covered in this book, as well as covering advanced physics-based topics.
