Hi,
reading tons of topics but can't find a solution.
Simple want to point all normals to outside of a grid. BTW I have other shapes but this is the simplest.
I have a shape (f.e. the grid)-> polyframe and use a point vop (transform matrix) to rotate them. Almost fine but why not all normal goes outside?
Thanks Detlef

Set the polyframe´s style to first edge and the bitangent name to N.
For handling more complex shapes I recommend going through some of Kim Goossens tutorials on Youtube:

Hi
If you want to rotate all of the N vectors in same direction, You would need on more vector as direction, So all of the Normals will rotating along this new vector and also you can use Rotate VOP instead of Transform Matrix VOP to use this new vector as a direction axis.
for doing this just add a Tangent vector with Poly Frame SOP (and set Style to First Edge).
Then use Tangent vector as a Axis of the Rotate VOP and finally multiply input Normals by Rotate VOP.
