If your normals are flipped, your cnc cutter is going to try to cut from inside up to the surface. That's no bueno.

- dyauspitr 2y agoInverting the normals is pretty straightforward.
- TylerE 2y agoIf ALL of them are inverted, yes. If the topology is a disaster...no. If you're hand massaging every poly you're rather defeating the purpose.
- slidehero 2y ago>If you're hand massaging every poly you're rather defeating the purpose. That's a bit of an overstatement. Fixing normals is far less time consuming than creating a mesh from scratch. This is particularly a win for people who lack the artistic skill to create the meshes in the first place. I've got a lot of technical 3D skills after using 3DSMax for years as a hobby. Unfortunately I lack the artistic skills to create good looking objects. This would definitely allow me to do things I couldn't before.
