3D projection (4x4 matrix).
</brief_description>
<description>
A 4x4 matrix used for 3D projective transformations. It can represent transformations such as translation, rotation, scaling, shearing, and perspective division. It consists of four [Vector4] columns.
For purely linear transformations (translation, rotation, and scale), it is recommended to use [Transform3D], as it is more performant and has a lower memory footprint.
Used internally as [Camera3D]'s projection matrix.
