Let's suppose I create a bmesh with the following commands:
import bmesh
bm = bmesh.new()
bm.from_mesh(obj.data)
bmesh.ops.triangulate(bm, faces=bm.faces)
Have a look at the following picture to get to know what counterclockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) indexing means:
Now when I iterate over the meshes faces after triangulating it is there any indication/standard in what order (CCW or CW) relative to the faces front/normal I will iterate over the loops of each face? Is it safe to assume that I will the following script will either always output [1,2,3] or [3,2,1] for a triangle like seen above?
l = []
for face in bm.faces:
for loop in face.loops:
l.append(loop.vert.index)
assert l==[1,2,3] // Or [3,2,1], or one of those lists rotated
PS: Can anyone propose a nice solution that will always guarantee CCW indexing for the faces loops?
