Face Weighted Normals¶

Calculate face weighted normals for a mesh. This is similar to Blender's built-in Weighted Normals Modifier but with some differences:

Selection Panel lets you limit weighted normals to a specific part of your mesh.
Options are designed to be more intuitive and easier to use.

Options¶

Normal Domain. Whether normals are stored on points (smooth) or face corners (allows sharp edges).
Weight. Derive normal weights from:
- Face Area. Faces with larger area have more influence over normals.
- Face Strength. Use the "Face Strength" attribute. Official Documentation
- Attribute. Define an attribute to use for normal weighting.
Keep Sharp. Keep sharp edges on face corners.
Corner Angle Weights. Include corner angles in weighting. Produces better normals for non -quads.

Have more control over area-weighted normals.

Area Bias. Bend normals towards faces with larger areas. 1 = Direct weight based on area. Higher values will weight more aggressively to larger areas.
Area Cutoff. Ignores normals from smaller faces. Cutoff is a percentage of face area compared to the largest connected face.
