what is that M thingie? what it does? what actual data it holds?
matrix is 4x4 array, what does it hold? lets say mat[0][0] or mat[3][1] or whatever, what those element hold? i gues they hold vectors (i read somewhere), but what vectors?
Too bad that irrWiki and api reference dont have detail description of matrix4, its a bit confusing while not much info is provided
i know that M can not be accessed any more but that doesnt mean i dont want to know what is this thing. i figured out that matrix holds simply numbers just a minute ago (thx wikipedia). And finaly - yes, holy api rocks with its very detailed description:
Detailed Description
4x4 matrix. Mostly used as transformation matrix for 3d calculations.
Try to gues, am i familar with matrix stored data now? You are right, answer is no
I simply want to know what represents those numbers in matrix
roxaz, just grab yourself a good 3d computer graphics book, like this one. Matrices are a basic concept, it is futile to use a 3d engine without understanding them. And it is futile to explain them in a forum post, with better and more thorough explainations available.
If you've got a specific question, you can ask it here of course, but this is too broad a topic, really.
i know basicly what is the matrix, i read wiki about matrix before
