Hello, I need to pick the model (local coordinates) when I click on an object on screen. I'm using the following code to get the world coordinates:
glLoadIdentity(); // Resets The Matrix
glGetDoublev(GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, mv);
glGetDoublev(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX, proj);
glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT, vp);
glReadPixels(xPos, viewport[3] - yPos, 1, 1, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT, &wz);
gluUnProject(xPos, viewport[3] - yPos, wz, mv, proj, vp, &cx, &cy, &cz);
Point P(cx, cy, cz);
P does hold the correct world coordinates values.
Now at this point, in order to get the model local coordinates, I thought I could simply multiply the point P by the inverse of the modelview matrix (mv), but the calculations that come out are all wrong.
Is this the correct approach or am I mistaken about this last point (world to local transformation)?
I am attaching also the routine used to calculate the matrix inverse...
Thanks for any hint!
