Overview

Move beyond 2D rendering and bring your objects into a 3D world. You'll integrate the GLM math library to create transformation matrices, allowing you to translate, rotate, and scale your models. By setting up a camera and a perspective projection, you will learn to create a true sense of depth and space.
