Fixing Normals

Recommended Posts

I am not sure why the normals are not working as I think they should, but I am trying to model a simple belt and have the decorations follow the belt. I do not want to add an old point SOP to make all normals point upwards, but rather have them follow the belt. Would you mind telling me what is wrong in my model? Thanks.

Thank you so much, Jesper!! I am used to C4D but really like the power of Houdini. Sometimes I get a bit lost on what is going on behind the hood though. That fixed it. (I will added a node to move the points used for the Copy node slightly in the normal direction to make it look a bit better). Here is result:
