To properly display and manipulate your objects in a scene, you need to define the viewpoint of your scene, create the view matrix, perform any necessary transformations, and, of course, render the completed scene. These tasks are explained in the following steps:

• Step 2.1: Define the Viewpoint
• Step 2.2: Create and Set the View Matrix
• Step 2.3: Perform the 3-D Transformation
• Step 2.4: Render the Scene
