Declaration

public Vector3 TransformVector(Vector3 vector);

Description

Transforms vector from local space to world space.

This operation is not affected by position of the transform, but it is affected by scale. The returned vector may have a different length than vector.

If you need the inverse operation to transform from world space to local space you can use Transform.InverseTransformVector

If you need to transform many vectors at once consider using Transform.TransformVectors instead as it is much faster than repeatedly calling this function.

Additional resources:Transform.TransformVectors, Transform.InverseTransformVector, Transform.TransformPoint, Transform.TransformDirection.
