thank you both for the replys. i think i know what i need to do, just not sure what order i need to read my vu and vv variables when alternating?
so to clarify for myself... for the first alternating read, what vertices do i want vu and vv to be? vu is 2-3? vv is 2-0? what about the second alternating read? vu is ?-? and vv is ?-? does the cross product also change on each alternating read? or just the vertices i read into vu and vv? i thought i had this in concrete, but the more sample code on calculating normals i find, the more confused i become. every source code calculating normals i find reads the vertices in a different order... i've now changed my vu vv and cross product dozens of times...!
correct me if i am wrong, going by the diagram the first read is vertex 1, 2 then 3. and the second read is 3, 4 then 2? cw then alternate ccw?
