Object To World Node

The Object To World node transforms a position or direction specified on its Input from Object/Local space to World Space. This node will also return the current game object's actual position on the world if Input is left unconnected and its default internal value of (0,0,0,1) is used.


Nodes used: Object To World



NOTE 1: When connecting a Vector 3 type data into Input, ASE will automatically cast it into a Vector4 type and set its w channel to 0, since it's the cast default behavior across all nodes.
This leads to incorrect results if that vector represents a position since the w channel value is important when doing a positional space transform. On these situations a new w channel with a value 1 should be appended to the original position vector via the Append node and its result should then be used on the Object To World node.

For the inverse World To Object transform please check the World To Object node.

NOTE 2: We advise using either the Transform Position or Transform Direction as they are easier to use and setup all available space transform switch.
