Your matrix, in the first attempt, is actually correct. For example, many books skip the view transformation, even the opengl red book, but this one goes into the nittygritty details of everything. We set the matrix mode to projection matrix and reset the matrix. The approach is that we enter the operations of opengl vertex transformation pipeline and the hz projection model into sympy, a computer algebra system cas. A 3x3 matrix cannot represent such a transformation, so in the pipeline an additional variable w is added to each coordinate. First thing i suggjest is getting a book called 3d math primer for graphics and game development, which goes into detail on the clip matrix derives the whole formula for both opengl and directx projections. Mar 25, 2010 now there are three main matrices in opengl, those being the projection matrix, model view matrix and the texture matrix.

All these things make the computation of opengl projection and modelview matrices here denoted respectively with and definitely a pain. A 3d scene rendered by opengl must be projected onto the computer screen as a 2d image. A vertex position is transformed by a model matrix, then a view matrix, followed by a projection matrix, hence the name model view projection, or mvp. Some renderers may have a different implementation of the perspective projection matrix.
First, it transforms all vertex data from the eye coordinates to the clip coordinates. The modelview matrix combined the model and view transformations into one. I personally find it is easier to separate the two, so the view transformation can be modified independently of the model matrix.
