Compute normals for triangulated surface meshes

ie pairs of vertices/indices sets.

• Face normals: one normal per face (=triangle) of the mesh
• Vertex normals: one (smooth) normal per vertex with different weighting options (area, angle,...)
• Corner normals: one normal per indexed triangle corner

This is basically a wrapper around libigl's(http://libigl.github.io/libigl/) functions to compute normals, more info here:

Installation Note:

Always copy the dependencies folder (+helpfiles) with the plugin!

Source Code:

The source code for the vvvv plugin as well as for the unmanaged "libigl_Normals.dll" can be found in my addonpack fork:
https://github.com/digitalwannabe/vvvv-sdk/tree/develop/vvvv45/addonpack/src/nodes/plugins/3d/3dComputeNormals

Licenses:

All my code is MIT where possible; always happy about credit to digitalWannabe/lichterloh
All code from libigl is MPL2
