Geometry Nodes: Support the "normal" attribute The `normal` attribute is a bit special for a few reasons: - It has the special CD_NORMAL custom data type even though it is just a float3. - It is sometimes stored in the `MVert` array as a vector of shorts instead of in a separate custom data layer. - The custom data layer does not have a default name, so we can't count on addressing it by name. - It can exist on multiple domains, meaning that polys, vertices, and corners can all have the "normal" attribute. All of these combined raise a lot of questions about how to properly support reading and writing from this attribute. The whole idea that it should be valid to address an attribute with the same name on multiple domains is challenging for the attribute code. This branch currently supports reading normals stored in the `MVert` layer and in `CD_NORMAL` layers. I'm not at all sure that this is the ideal way of dealing with this situation, but it's a start. |
