Vec3::Forward() and Vec3::Up() function calls.

[reepblue]

Ultra Engine should include static function calls that contain the following.

static const Vec3 Vec3::Up()
{
	return Vec3(0,1,0);
}

static const Vec3 Vec3::Forward()
{
	return Vec3(0,0,1);
}

// Maybe this too?
static const Vec3 Vec3::Right()
{
	return Vec3(1,0,0);
}

I was following this math tutorial that was exampled in Unity and thought future users would get stuck when a guide or tutorial called for an Up() or Forward() call with them not knowing what it actually is. (Because I didn't!)

 

Once I was able to figure out what that Vector3.Up actually was with this, I had this working in Leadwerks. This would be a nice thing to have for people coming over from your competitors.

When C# support is added I might do this.

Yeah this would be very useful.

To me, this is like having constants like this:

const float THREE_AND_ONE_HALF = 3.5f;
const int NINETY_NINE = 99;
const String THE_LETTER_Q = "Q";

Maybe, just thought it would make the transition from other engines a lot easier.

I think it's worth adding.  It's much nice to type Vec3.UP than Vec3(0.0,1.0,0.0).
