Quote - Feel free to ask questions once you've had a chance to look it over, but when I said something about "routines that may no longer be in the current script" I was mostly just referring to things like:
It looks pretty straightforward, but I'll definitely ask if I find anything confusing as I go along. It's a safe bet that I will, once I start looking more closely. :lol:
Quote - Ahh - gotcha. I didn't really know what you were doing :). So you're creating a weighted-average Normal.. hmm... it sounds interesting/promising, but I'd need to see your code, I think. One potential difference (aside from the obvious) is that I was also including the target vertex's Normal in the averaging, to help keep it from casting off in some too-diverse angle.
Aha! That, I did not know. I'll see how it works out if that's averaged in with the weighted version.
I thought I was making a weighted average. I've avoided calling it that because, in my Googling to try to find a more correct approach for the weighting, I found a (presumably incorrect) reference to a regular, run-of-the-mill average as a "weighted" average. I grew confused about the proper use of the term, and have eschewed its use since. :lol:
