Quote - How many coordinates of the normal does each vertex have? Or do normals have coordinates?
A normal only has a direction and a length. It doesn't have a location. Coordinates and normal vectors share the same format of (x,y,z), but they're different entities altogether.

It was ages before I understood the difference between the two. Hoo boy. :lol:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
