InverseTransformVector(float, float, float)

Transforms the vector
x
,
y
,
z
from world space to local space. The opposite of TransformHandle.TransformVector.
public Vector3 InverseTransformVector(float x, float y, float z)

Parameters

The x component of the vector to transform, in world space.

The y component of the vector to transform, in world space.

The z component of the vector to transform, in world space.

Returns

Type

Description

Vector3The transformed vector, in local space.

Remarks

This operation is not affected by position of the transform but it is affected by scale. The returned vector may have a different length than
vector
.
If you need to transform many vectors at once consider using TransformHandle.InverseTransformVectors instead as it is much faster than repeatedly calling this function.

InverseTransformVector(Vector3)
