GLSL 1.3 inverse 4x4 matrix
I want to calculate the new normal vector and in GLSL 1.4 you can use this formula:
normal = mat3(transpose(inverse(modelview))) * in_Normal;
But my version of GLSL is 1.3 and the function inverse is not available in this version.
Do you know if there is an alternative to this without coding the entire function to inverse a matrix ?

I suggest to calculate the inverse on CPU side (e.g. glm has this function) and then pass it as an uniform to the shader.

If the matrix is an Orthogonal matrix (which may be the case for the model view matrix), then the inverse matrix is equal the transposed matrix and the term can be simplified:normal = mat3(modelview) * in_Normal;

I agree with @Ripi. Furthermore, check if you really need the inverse transpose. For a huge number of cases (when the model view matrix is just a rigid body transform), you don't need to do this.

@Rabbid76 that is true only for rotational transform matrix... with homogenous transform matrix you need to correct the position afterwards...
