From Camera Space to Model Space
Author
Hi ,
it is possible to transform vertices from camera space to model space only with the inverse of the current Model-View-Matrix ?
The MODELVIEW matrix is a composition of the global-to-view (VIEW) and local-to-global (MODEL) frame transformations, where the said VIEW matrix is the inverse of the camera matrix
V == C-1
so that
V * M == C-1 * M
Now, inverting this yields in
( C-1 * M )-1 = M-1 * C
what transform from camera space over the global space into the model space.

its possible only with the inverse of the Current Modelview matrix to get vertices from camera space to model space ? How to get only the View matrix and Model matrix in opengl ?

Err, I've argued in my answer above that it is possible. Perhaps you misunderstand my explanation due to the writing of the 2 matrices. So I formulate it another way. The overall MODELVIEW matrix MV is the product of the inverse camera transformation and the local-to-global model transformation
C-1 * M =: MV
so that its inverse
MV-1 = M-1 * C
actually does what you want it to do.

In OpenGL there is the composed MODELVIEW matrix; the VIEW and MODEL portions are not available separately. You have to deal yourself with the particular matrices.

Or you might leave away this horrible matrices-stack and do all the transformations by yourself :) This increases the ease of portability ogl code into d3d & vice versa
