3D Geometric Transformations

Kinds of Transformations
Translation Rotation Reflection Scaling Shearing
NOTES: These transformations are an important component of computer graphics programming Each transformation type can be expressed in a (4 x 4) matrix, called the Transformation Matrix

Translation
Moving the object from one position to another

Rotation
Rotating the object about an axis

Reflection
Mirroring an object about a plane

Scaling
Reducing or enlarging the object

Shearing
Moving selected vertices of an object linearly along an axis
