The inverse of this matrix (Read Only).

Inverted matrix is such that if multiplied by the original would result in identity matrix.

If some matrix transforms vectors in a particular way, then the inverse matrix can transform them back. For example, Transform's worldToLocalMatrix and localToWorldMatrix are inverses of each other.
