Coordinate systems

From Tech Artists Wiki

In 3D, a Coordinate System is a particular type of matrix. We often use the term coordinate system to denote the matrix a point is relative to (or the matrix we are transforming to/from). Common coordinate systems are listed below.

Fore more info about transforming between coordinate systems, see transform, and tutorials from the Rigging Portal and Math Portal.
