Long name (short name)TypeDefaultFlags
normalPerVertex (npvx) compoundn/aoutputinputstorable
Attribute to specify the normal of a vertex, either on the entire vertex on a per face basis.
vertexNormal (vn) compoundn/aarrayoutputinputstorable
A compound attribute that corresponds to the normal of the vertex. It is a multi attribute and the index of the multi identifies the vertex that the normal applies to.
vertexNormalXYZ (nxyz) float3outputinputstorable
Vertex normal - XYZ.
vertexNormalX (vxnx) float-999outputinputstorable
Vertex normal x value
vertexNormalY (vxny) float-999outputinputstorable
Vertex normal y value
vertexNormalZ (vxnz) float-999outputinputstorable
Vertex normal z value
vertexFaceNormal (vfnl) compoundn/aarrayoutputinputstorable
A compound attribute that corresponds to the normal of the vertex attached to a particular face. It is a multi attribute and the index of the multi identifies the face that the normal applies to. The index of the parent attribute (aVertexNormal) already identifies the vertex that normal is being attached to.
vertexFaceNormalXYZ (fnxy) float3outputinputstorable
VertexFace normal - XYZ.
vertexFaceNormalX (vfnx) float-999outputinputstorable
Vertex face normal x value
vertexFaceNormalY (vfny) float-999outputinputstorable
Vertex face normal y value
vertexFaceNormalZ (vfnz) float-999outputinputstorable
Vertex face normal z value
