One solution which might be in the right way is to use Data Transfer modifier blender.stackexchange.com/questions/75143/…. Also related. The point is that it's just impossible to create that bevel without new individual vertex normals to appear; and face normal will be calculated based on their orientation so either transfer those from original mesh or change the way. | |

| Mar 21, 2017 at 9:05 | comment | added | Lof | Yes, I have 2 normal vectors and therefore 2 vertices on the left side. On the right side I still have 2 normal vectors and therefore 2 vertices. The shading is not broken, it's exactly what I want, the beveled face is "curvy" because of normal interpolation and the original faces are flat because the normals are perpendicular. | |
| Mar 21, 2017 at 8:57 | comment | added | Mr Zak | If a vertex is connected to 2 edges on the left in your image there are 2 normal vectors. If it's connected to 3 edges there will be 3 of them and shading wil change because of that. You can't add a face splitting those 2 faces like on the right and avoid creating additional normal vector from that vertex and that will break shading. You can split normals as desired afterwards. EdgeSplit modifier is one way. | |
| Mar 21, 2017 at 8:46 | comment | added | Lof | Not sure about blender terms, but conceptually a face doesn't have a normal. Vertices have normals. The new bevel face can share vertices with the flat faces. | |
| Mar 21, 2017 at 8:38 | comment | added | Mr Zak | You could add EdgeSplit modifier after Bevel modifier to split normals based on certain angle threshold. I don't think it's possible to add beveling to mesh without changing any of its vertices normals - face itself created with bevel has to have normal vectors. | |
