I migrate from my own matrix/vector operations to GLM and i don't understand one thing.
A model matrix in OpenGL - model_matrix = scale_matrix * rotate_matrix * translate_matrix, so we first translate then rotate and at last scale. But then i try to do so in GLM it shows quad at right place only if i use inverse order of multiplication (translate * rotate * scale), but works as it should for MVP matrix (projection * view * model).
Example code
using namespace glm;
mat4 projection = ortho(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
mat4 translate = translate(mat4(1.0f), vec3(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f));
mat4 rotate = rotate(mat4(1.0f), 90.0f, vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f));
mat4 scale = scale(mat4(1.0f), vec3(0.5f, 0.5f, 1.0f));
mat4 m = translate * scale * rotate;// must be scale * rotate * translate
mat4 mvp = projection * mat4(1.0f)/*view matrix*/ * m;
glUseProgram(shader->prog);
glUniformMatrix4fv(shader->uniforms[0]/*um_mvp*/, 1, GL_FALSE, value_ptr(mvp));
...
Vertex shader
attribute vec3 av_pos;
attribute vec2 av_tex;
uniform mat4 um_mvp;
varying vec2 vv_tex;
void main()
{
vv_tex = av_tex;
gl_Position = um_mvp * vec4(av_pos, 1.0);
}
