Prerequisite: Computer Graphics – 3D Translation Transformation Scaling Transformation : It is performed to resize the 3D-object that is the dimension of the object can be scaled(alter) in any of the x, y, z direction through Sx, Sy, Sz scaling factors. Matrix representation of Scaling transformation Condition : \large S[x, y, z]= \left [ \begin{matrix} S_x &0&0& 0\\ 0 & S_y&0&0&\\ 0 & 0&S_z&0\\ 0&0&0&1\\ \end{matrix}\right]\\ where\, S_x, \, S_y, \, S_z\, \text{are}\, \text{the}\, \text{Scaling\, Factors}.\\ The following kind of sequences occur while performing the scaling transformations on a fixed point –

  • The fixed point is translated to the origin.
  • The object is scaled.
  • The fixed point is translated to its original position.

Let a point in 3D space is P(x, y, z) over which we want to apply Scaling Transformation operation and we are given with Scaling factor [Sx, Sy, Sz] So, the new position of the point after applying Scaling operation would be – \textbf{P'[x, y, z, 1]=P[x, y, z, 1].S[x, y, z]}
Note : If Scaling factor (Sx, Sy, Sz), then, in this case, the 3D object will be Scaled up uniformly in all X, Y, Z direction. Problem : Consider the above problem where a cube” OABCDEFG” is given O(0, 0, 0, ), A(0, 4, 0), B(0, 4, 4), C(4, 4, 0), D(4, 4, 4), E(4, 0, 0), F(0, 0, 4), G (4, 0, 4) and we are given with Scaling factor Sx, Sy, Sz. Perform Scaling operation  over the cube. Solution : We are asked to perform the Scaling transformation over the given below 3D object Fig.1:

Fig.1

Now, applying the Matrix Scaling transformation condition we get – \large O'[x, y, z, 1]= [0\, 0\, 0\, 1]\left [ \begin{matrix} 2&0&0&0\\ 0&3&0&0\\ 0&0&2&0\\ 0&0&0&1\\ \end{matrix}\right]=[0\, 0\, 0\, 1]\\\\ \hspace{4cm}A'[x, y, z, 1]= [0\, 4\, 0\, 1]\left [\begin{matrix} 2&0&0&0\\ 0&3&0&0\\ 0&0&2&0\\ 0&0&0&1\\ \end{matrix}\right]=[0\, 12\, 0\, 1]\\\\ \hspace{4cm}B'[x, y, z, 1]= [0\, 4\, 4\, 1]\left [ \begin{matrix} 2&0&0&0\\ 0&3&0&0\\ 0&0&2&0\\ 0&0&0&1\\ \end{matrix}\right]=[0\, 12\, 8\, 1]\\\\ \hspace{4cm}C'[x, y, z, 1]= [4\, 4\, 0\, 1]\left [ \begin{matrix} 2&0&0&0\\ 0&3&0&0\\ 0&0&2&0\\ 0&0&0&1\\ \end{matrix}\right]=[8\, 12\, 0\, 1]\\\\ \hspace{4cm}D'[x, y, z, 1]= [4\, 4\, 4\, 1]\left [ \begin{matrix} 2&0&0&0\\ 0&3&0&0\\ 0&0&2&0\\ 0&0&0&1\\ \end{matrix}\right]=[8\, 12\, 8\, 1]\\\\ \hspace{4cm}E'[x, y, z, 1]= [4\, 0\, 0\, 1]\left [ \begin{matrix} 2&0&0&0\\ 0&3&0&0\\ 0&0&2&0\\ 0&0&0&1\\ \end{matrix}\right]=[8\, 0\, 0\, 1]\\\\ \hspace{4cm}F'[x, y, z, 1]= [0\, 0\, 4\, 1]\left [ \begin{matrix} 2&0&0&0\\ 0&3&0&0\\ 0&0&2&0\\ 0&0&0&1\\ \end{matrix}\right]=[0\, 0\, 8\, 1]\\\\ \hspace{4cm}G'[x, y, z, 1]= [4\, 0\, 4\, 1]\left [ \begin{matrix} 2&0&0&0\\ 0&3&0&0\\ 0&0&2&0\\ 0&0&0&1\\ \end{matrix}\right]=[8\, 0\, 8\, 1]\\\\ After performing the Scaling Transformation successfully the Fig.1 will look like as below Fig.2 –
