| Oct 3, 2023 at 6:37 | comment | added | Robin Betts♦ | Hello, @Nathan .. I have to say, I don't understand this behaviour, either. If I set 'Directional' and 'Parallel', Face-Corner Normals all point the right way. So far, so good. But the face-interpolated Vertex-Normals behave inconsistently.. those with no component in the direction of the target don't move at all. Those with a negative <1 component flip, the ones with a positive <1 component don't move. Personally, I can't reverse-engineer an explanation of this which makes sense. Can you? imgur.com/a/DGeQa5K | |

| Oct 3, 2023 at 0:38 | comment | added | Nathan | What do you mean, normal edit modifier doesn't work on vertex normals? That's exactly what it works on. Alternative method would be data transfer modifer to get normals (for constant, straight-up normals, target a plane.) | |
