GeometryNodeSetMeshNormal(GeometryNode)

base classes — bpy_struct, Node, NodeInternal, GeometryNode

class bpy.types.GeometryNodeSetMeshNormal(GeometryNode)

Store a normal vector for each mesh element

domain

Attribute domain to store free custom normals (default 'POINT')

Type:

Literal[Attribute Domain Only Mesh No Edge Items]

mode

Storage mode for custom normal data (default 'SHARPNESS')

  • SHARPNESS Sharpness – Store the sharpness of each face or edge. Similar to the “Shade Smooth” and “Shade Flat” operators..

  • FREE Free – Store custom normals as simple vectors in the local space of the mesh. Values are not necessarily updated automatically later on as the mesh is deformed..

  • TANGENT_SPACE Tangent Space – Store normals in a deformation dependent custom transformation space. This method is slower, but can be better when subsequent operations change the mesh without handling normals specifically..

Type:

Literal[‘SHARPNESS’, ‘FREE’, ‘TANGENT_SPACE’]
