Understanding the view matrix 3d game engine programming. I only need rotation on the zaxis, and scaling on x and y which is the always the same value, so this should simplify things significantly. Using a 4x4 homogeneous matrix allows a single matrix multiply to perf. Using this new matrix you will postmultiply the model matrix matrix containing all the rotations, scales and translations of an object by the viewprojection matrix.

Android is booming like never before, with millions of devices shipping every day. I found that one of my old sources where i learned open gl 2. You start off with a matrix on the stack called the transformation matrix there are also ones for textures and the projection, every time you do a call to gltranslate or glrotate, this changes the transformation matrix. Do the model matrix first and then do viewprojection matrix. You can download what you need using the download materials button. After much headache i finally tracked down most of the problems.
