Hi,

I know that probably this has been asked a thousand times, but I cannot find the answer in the forums… I need to explicitly add the primitive normals (for later use) to every polygon in a scene. In the attached file, I can see the prim normals in the frozen null file, but the attribCreate node systematically gives me (0,0,0)… any idea what I am doing wrong?
Sorry for this newbie question!

Sorry! I forgot the sample file!

primitive normal is not an attribute by default and cannot be overriden by creating one, that may be the reason why it's even not bound to $N? variables or N input in VOPs

however you can easily create one in Attribute VOP if you set it to Primitives and take normal using Primitive Normal VOP then just export as attribute

but again this attribute will serve you as a data you can store and use, but it will not affect the actual primitive normal

Hi,

Thank you VERY MUCH!!
Sorry for the delayed answer, but now I am on a trip…
best
