Custom normals like inside Blender ?

[Tonio]

Hello,

I’m trying to reproduce in Houdini the normal transfer rendering from Blender using the Data Transfer modifier for custom normals. The goal is to transfer normals from a simple cube to a custom mesh.

I’m struggling to get it right—I mean like inside Blender, which is perfect for my purpose.

I’ve promoted my normals, points, and other attributes from the cube, use attrib transfer/copy  but the results still differ between the two software.

For example, following the data transfer I got the low poly/facet aspect but there aren’t any sharp edges on specific zones  like in Blender  :/
Any ideas? Thanks in advance .
