[osg-users] World space normal.

[shayne.tueller]

Shouldn't the normal be multiplied by the inverse transpose of the modelview matrix? (Only upper 3x3 portion)

I have a world space vertex computed as follows:
 
WorldVertex = osg_ViewMatrixInverse * gl_ModelViewMatrix * aVertex;
 
I would like to get the world space normal from this vertex.  Is there an equivalent osg_* matrix that does the same thing?
 
I tried this:
 
NormalWorld = gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal;  
 
But I know that is only putting the normal in view space.
