normal

Declaration

static let normal: SCNGeometrySource.Semantic

Discussion

For a geometry source, this semantic identifies data containing the surface normal vector at each vertex in the geometry. SceneKit uses this information to compute lighting effects on the surface.

For a custom shader program, you use this semantic to bind SceneKit’s vertex normal data to an input attribute of the shader.

Vertex normal data is typically an array of three- or four-component vectors.
