SurfaceGeometricNormal

 
 
 

The normal of the underlying geometry at a location.

This attribute is available at surface locations only. On polygon meshes, it is the normal of the tessellated triangle and is not interpolated. On NURBS surfaces and curves, it is the exact normal at that location.
