<br>
Think so, yes? Make a vgroup containing the area you want to work
on, use 'directional' mode of edit normal modifier, assign an empty
(to which edited normals will point to), probably enable 'Parallel
Normals' to avoid the 'convergent' effect, and tweak the 'mix mode'
settings to your liking. Main difference I can see from that video
is that it’s empty’s position, not rotation, which controls normal
directions…<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I think this video at 4:20 shows what I was expecting from the
modifer. Somehow I feel that we jump from having no control over
the normals to a very specialised tool (that apparently is not
doing what I, maybe we, expected).<br>

Bastien, Do you think what is show in the video can be done with
Normal-edit modifier?<br>

Yeah the cage option worked like a charm. If you put the mesh
in wiremode you are able to spot inward bound normals. So the
ui feedback is ok. <br>
<br>
Yeah I am referring to another proces. In fact want to be able
to alter individual normals so you can correct mistakes like
these, or do other magic stuff. That is not possible now, but
perhaps possible if we can program this into python (if
possible). I do not expect this to be on the charts for the
devs real soon although there where more steps defined for the
normal modifier (as I thought).<br>

Yes, you can show normals (enable cage mode of modifier,
switch to Edit mode and enable relevant normal option (middle
button in the row of three, 'Normals' part of 'Mesh Display'
panel, 3DView properties area). And “no user feedback” with a
direct real time update of shading in viewport…<br>
<br>
Aside from that, I do not see how you would like this tool to
work? Seems like you are talking about a complete different
process than merely spherizing normals (which obviously cannot
work well with such geometry as our monkey head).<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Yesterday I notified this bug (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://developer.blender.org/T44180">https://developer.blender.org/T44180</a>)
but apparently it's not a bug, it's a feature...<br>
I don't want to argue with the coder, not his fault. <br>
I know you can do "something" with the groups but even
then in the extreme areas you always get a glitch.<br>
The main use case of normal-edit for me would be to
spherify the normals in Anime-styled faces. But right now
is completely useless for me.<br>
<br>
What do you guys think about it?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Vicente<br>

Took another look into this. Yes agree, the workaround would
be to use different vertex groups. So it is still possible
but it is something more time consuming. Unless I am
mistaken, problem is you cannot see the altered normals so
you are not aware if this problem exists. This is a real
issue, no user feedback what you are doing. <br>
