Faceforward

Return a vector pointing in the same direction as another

Declaration

float faceforward(float N, float I, float Nref)  
vec2 faceforward(vec2 N, vec2 I, vec2 Nref)  
vec3 faceforward(vec3 N, vec3 I, vec3 Nref)  
vec4 faceforward(vec4 N, vec4 I, vec4 Nref)

Parameters

N specifies the vector to orient.

I specifies the incident vector.

Nref specifies the reference vector.

Description

faceforward() orients a vector to point away from a surface as defined by its normal. If dot(Nref, I) < 0 faceforward returns N, otherwise it returns -N.
