I am trying to deform mesh in clip space coordinates. To transform vertex position I use two custom nodes using:

for transform to Clip:

```
mul(float4(In.xyz,1),View.WorldToClip)

```

and back to world:

```
mul(float4(In.xyz,1),View.ClipToTranslatedWorld)

```

But for some reason example below creates orthographic projection…  
In example blow, expected result should be- **no deformation**.

How to get Word to Clip and Reversed transformation in Material Editor?

Use `View.ClipToWorld instead` of `View.ClipToTranslatedWorld`.

// World = TranslatedWorld - PreViewTranslation  
// TranslatedWorld = World + PreViewTranslation

If you do this, the operations are inverses of each other:
