Programming Notes
=================
To render vertices in 3D, certain mathematical transformations must be
performed on the vertices. This includes the world transform (which
translates, rotates, and scales the geometry), the view transform (which
orients the camera, or view) and the projection transform (which projects
the 3D scene into 2D viewport). Transforms are represented mathematically
as 4x4 matrices. This tutorial introdcues the use of the D3DX helper
library, which contains (amongst other things) functions to build and
manipulate our 4x4 tranform matrices.
