Because this method uses the modified Gram-Schmidt process, the resulting vectors tend to be numerically unstable. The numeric stability decreases according to the vectors position in the list so that the first vector is the most stable and the last vector is the least stable.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector3	coordinate	The coordinate vector to transform.
Matrix	transform	The transformation Matrix.

Returns

Type	Description
Vector3	The transformed coordinates.

Remarks

A coordinate transform performs the transformation with the assumption that the w component is one. The four dimensional vector obtained from the transformation operation has each component in the vector divided by the w component. This forces the wcomponent to be one and therefore makes the vector homogeneous. The homogeneous vector is often prefered when working with coordinates as the w component can safely be ignored.

public static void TransformCoordinate(ref Vector3 coordinate, ref Matrix transform, out Vector3 result)

Parameters

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector3	normal	The normal vector to transform.
Matrix	transform	The transformation Matrix.

Returns

Type	Description
Vector3	The transformed normal.

Remarks

A normal transform performs the transformation with the assumption that the w component is zero. This causes the fourth row and fourth collumn of the matrix to be unused. The end result is a vector that is not translated, but all other transformation properties apply. This is often prefered for normal vectors as normals purely represent direction rather than location because normal vectors should not be translated.
