negative scale make wrong v.normal?

I use v.noraml to moving the vertex position,but when negative scale ,the moving is wrong,how to fixed this?

 

it seems make the v.normal normalized when scale.x=-1,why?

 

Show us the code.

Generally you can't use model matrix to transform direction vectors when scale is nonuniform (as in your case, x = -1, y = z = 1), only position ones.

For completely generic matrix you should use inverse transpose matrix (see http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Matrix4x4-transpose.html and http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Matrix4x4-inverse.html methods) to get corresponding transformation matrix for direction vectors.

In your case I think there should be more simpler solution, but I am too lazy now to get the paper and calculate it.

Thanks your reply !my code is very simple.give difference vector for vetex normal .like this:mesh.normal=dirs;then in shader:float3 pos =v.vertex;pos=pos+time.y*v.normal;I don't use the matrix to scale,it is unity do it.

 

Help​

 

i want to use unity_scale for control nonuniform scale and v.normal by this:

v.normal=v.normal*unity_scale.w;it dosen't work...

 

Code (CSharp):

1. c#
2. Start():
3. Matrix4x4 invertTraM=new Matrix4x4();
4.                 invertTraM.SetTRS(Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity, gameObject.transform.lossyScale);
5.                 invertTraM=invertTraM.transpose;
6.                 invertTraM=invertTraM.inverse;
7.                 renderer.material.SetMatrix("_inverTraM",invertTraM);
8.  
9. shader:
10.   half3 vNormal=mul((float3x3)_inverTraM,v.normal);

hi mholub,I try use the matrix to fixed that,but my code not work,need your help,thanks advance!

 

and i found this very very old thread about same problem...NO WAY to fixed this??....
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/handle-uniform-non-uniform-scale-in-a-shader.115675/

 

maybe this work?But new mesh in runtime how to enable this?

 

Any help?

 

so after all any idea ?

 

Hey @dreamerflyer did you find any solution ??
please reply
