Idea #329: Live Normal Calculation

Written by shotalot the 19 Apr 11 at 23:43. Category: Mesh Tools. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Alot of the time when I model, normals are all over the place when I'm done. I've always wondered why normals don't get calculated on the fly, instead of tediously selecting "Recalculate Normals" every time i extrude a face.

Solution #1: Add a "Live Normal Calculation" option.

Im not a programmer, just an artist, but why not add a tickbox that says "Calculate normals live" or something along those lines, on one of the the toolbars or in user preferences.

At the beginning of the model or when retopoing this could actually be a nice feature as I kinda need to calculate the normals all the time some times. Not really that annoying though.
