Vertex shader displacement

Hi,
I’m in the process of learning OpenGL & GLSL.
I’m trying to port to processing this THREE.js tutorial on vertex displacement shader
https://www.clicktorelease.com/blog/vertex-displacement-noise-3d-webgl-glsl-three-js/, but I’m bumping into an issue.

The displacement (computed from position.xyz) seems to be affected by the position after all transformations, and not before. How can I achieve that? After some readings (https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Advanced-OpenGL), I understand I have to provide the shader the modelviewInv matrix, but I can’t figure out how to do it right.

Thanks,

void setup() {
  size(800, 800, P3D);
  cam = new PeasyCam(this, 500);
  shad = loadShader("fragShader.fs", "vertShader.vs");

}

void draw() {
  
  background(0);
  
  //Stroke just to visualize the transformations
  stroke(0);
  shad.set("modelviewInv", ((PGraphicsOpenGL)g).modelviewInv);
  shad.set("modelview", ((PGraphicsOpenGL)g).modelview);
  shad.set("projection", ((PGraphicsOpenGL)g).projection);
  
  shader(shad);

Well, I figured it out thanks to you all my rubber ducks.

Found the explaination here : https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/3909/vertex-of-shapes-in-shader

Processing code is now :

import peasy.*;

PShader shad;

PeasyCam cam;

void setup() {
  size(800, 800, P3D);
  cam = new PeasyCam(this, 500);
  shad = loadShader("fragShader.fs", "vertShader.vs");
  hint(DISABLE_OPTIMIZED_STROKE);
  noStroke();
}

void draw() {

  background(0);
  
  shader(shad);
  sphere(200);
}
