Render Node View Matrix

[whaleeee]

Hello,
I am trying to create shadowing effects using a depth map and a shader. My trouble now is getting the view matrix of my render node. If I do <node3d:renderNode>.getMatrix() is this the view matrix? The documentation is unclear and I am not sure how to verify this.

Also, what is the recommended method for passing this matrix into my vertex shader? The tutorial I am using says to store it in gl_TextureMatrix[1], but it is my impression that this matrix is read-only in GLSL. If I can use it, how do I set it in Vizard?

If I can't use gl_TextureMatrix[1], would I then have to use viz.addUniformFloat multiple times? addUniformFloat, I believe, only allows you to pass in a maximum of four float values.

Thanks

After further research, getMatrix returns the transform matrix, so the view matrix is the inverse of this?

Yes, the view matrix will be the inverse.
