Untested, but should point you in the right direction:
// assumes only one path from scene root to node
// \throw std::out_of_range if pNode has no parents
osg::Vec3f convert(osg::Node* pNode, const osg::Vec3f& worldVector)
{
osg::NodePathList paths = pNode->getParentalNodePaths();
osg::Matrix worldToLocal = osg::computeWorldToLocal(paths.at(0));
osg::Vec3f localVector = worldToLocal * worldVector;
return localVector;
}
If you are using the intersector classes, just use the node path
from the hit record instead.
