This function will add surface normal data to the vertex currently being defined for the custom primitive. You supply the buffer to write the data into as well as the x, y and z component parts of the normal.

 

Syntax:

vertex_normal(buffer, nx, ny, nz);

Argument Type Description
buffer Vertex Buffer The buffer to write the information to.
nx Real The x component of the surface normal.
ny Real The y component of the surface normal.
nz Real The z component of the surface normal.

 

Returns:

Example:

vertex_normal(buff, 0, 1, 1);

The above code will set the surface normal of the vertex being defined.
