Transforms

Transformations are used to convert object geoemtry from one coordinate space to another. The most common transformations are done using matrices. A matrix is an essential tool for holding the transformation values and applying them to the data. The topics below introduce matrices, and explain how to use them to generate the world, view and projection transformations.

• Matrices
• World Transformation

  Convert from world coordinates to view coordinates

• View Transformation

  Convert from view coordinates to projection coordinates

• Projection Transformation

  Convert from projection coordinates to screen coordinates
