# The order of transformations
Different orders of transformations, espeically translation and rotation, have different results
## M = RTS
scale(0.5), then translate(0.3, 0.2, 0.0), then rotate 60 degrees about Z Axis
```cpp
glm::mat4 mat_scale = glm::scale(glm::vec3(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f));
glm::mat4 mat_trans = glm::translate(glm::vec3(0.3f, 0.2f, 0.0f));
glm::mat4 mat_rot = glm::rotate(glm::radians(60.0f), glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f));
glm::mat4 mat_modelview = mat_rot * mat_trans * mat_scale;
```
## M = TRS
cale(0.5), then rotate 60 degrees about Z Axis, then translate(0.3, 0.2, 0.0),
```cpp
// the order matters
glm::mat4 mat_modelview = mat_trans * mat_rot * mat_scale;
```
