normalMagic early access 0.3 update!
#b3d #normalMagic

Boom, who's next?!

Little issues like this take so much time to find and fix — Getting there though! 💪
#normalMagic #b3d #geometrynodes

Would it be possible to use this model as an example in my documentation? The license seems to allow but I thought I'd check 😊

I'm listening 🤔

Why did I keep adding tools?? Look at all this documentation I have to make 😭
#normalMagic

Tiny update to this, I've found using the dot product to be a little more consistent. I'm using a tolerance of 0.05 in my use-cases which seems to be working well

It'll come to Superhive too 👍
I tend to keep early access on Gumroad only but full releases are available simultaneously on both platforms

Detect sharp edges from custom normals

One of my reasons for staying on them is to avoid the brain zaps of changing dose, I had a really rough time adjusting in the first place — hope you're doing OK

"Add Plane" tool for object and mesh edit modes I love the "Add Cube" tool but I often finding myself wanting a single plane in…

Suggestion for "Add Plane" tool, upvote if you'd find useful!

The welding means it supports booleans after "Surface Insert"...
The worst topology with the best normals 🤡
#b3d #geometrynodes #normalMagic

Yep! Custom normals are applied too to match original surface (depending where you want that)

Gap-less surface insert is a go! 🧑‍🔬
I really wanted to squeeze Surface Insert into the full release and it looks like it's going in 🥳

Playing with early access version of NormalMagic by @spaghetmenot.bsky.social ... Shading does look magical!

#b3d #normalMagic

I think I have some sort of medieval cat?

Icons for the add-on part of normalMagic

3 are just flipped versions of existing icons but 'Slice' and 'Split' are new
#normalMagic #b3d

RIP wallet, this is a dangerous journey!

Exactly! I made a small group to detect sharp edges from the attribute and flat shading markup too

Still waiting for the bevel 😅

This node is super useful for that kind of thing! There's one to go the other way too 👍
As for determining sharp edges to begin with I think this was all by angle if I remember correctly

normalMagic early access update!
#b3d #normalMagic

Fixed!
I'd set a tolerance a little too low, I've now increased it a little and exposed it as a setting in the case there are other misses 👍

Ok, yeah drivers are fun. Everything is rotating based off of that center gear.

Yeah the words are a bit redundant!
And yeah I think all of these will end up in the redo panel, the settings in the panel will essentially act as defaults 👍

Let's not ask why I've used "Options" and "Settings" interchangeably 👀😅

Some serious add-on dev done today on #normalMagic
Hopefully I'll include it in the early access this week 🤞

thanks so much! I'll give it proper debug soon 👍

Oh great, thanks for the repro case!! could you link the model url? it'd save me a few minutes of searching 😅

GeoNodes wizards:
Is there a trivial way to "cut" points into face edges?
(Before I spend a long time wrangling indices!)
