About 3D Scaling Matrices

In 3D computer graphics and linear algebra, a 3D scaling matrix is used to resize objects along the x, y, and z axes. It's a diagonal matrix where each diagonal element corresponds to the scaling factor for each axis. A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the object, while a factor less than 1 shrinks it. Understanding scaling matrices is crucial for transformations in 3D modeling, animation, and various engineering applications. This tool helps you easily generate and visualize these matrices, making it simpler to grasp the concept of 3D scaling.
