Detailed Description

Represents a 3D (4x4) geometric transformation matrix.

Matrix values are in column-major order. The transformation is stored as:

    -     -
    | R T |
M = | 0 w |
    -     -

where:

• M is a 4x4 matrix
• R is a 3x3 sub-matrix. It is the rotation part
• T is a 3x1 sub-matrix. It is the translation part
• w is a scalar. It is 1/scale.
