The macro script that averages all vertex normals

Poly Average Normals

Additional Info

I recommend to check the zOffTy version as well, that works on selected faces. Enjoy!

MCG?

Been wondering if this could be solved through a MCG modifier, or perhaps a Datachannel preset?

Can you make it work on face selections? Cool script BTW.

Hi Dutch,
The main 'algorithm' is based on the face indexes and must say that it gives good results with the models built by the "box modeling" style. In the rest cases take a little ingenious tips like detaching (for example) to isolate the effect, and so on. Cheers.

can you tell me about the smart selection? is it just selecting faces by angles?

I'm having trouble getting the right results.
