Hi guys!

Could someone help me in a doubt?

There is some way to use OpenMaya.MFnMesh.getVertexNormal(), but instead of using the default kWorld or kObject MSpace flags, I would like to use an specific direction.

I mean: I don´t want to get the normals based on the world, I want to get the normals based in a specific direction, like the world would be in another direction.

Is it possible?

Thanks a lot!

You could multiply your normal by a matrix representing your desired coordinate space orientation.
