Automatic normals #1264

Open janEntikan opened 2 years ago

janEntikan commented 2 years ago

It would be nice if I didn't have to worry about geometry normals. Something along the lines of Geom.recalculate_normals()

Usecases:

Blender has a function that does this seemingly perfectly. https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/meshes/editing/mesh/normals.html#recalculate

Good idea, would go well hand-in-hand with #803
