hi all,

i am writing a simple script on particle displacement .I wanted to displace the particles in the direction of the normals. The problem is, i don’t know how to find the direction in which the normals are facing. So if any one knows how to find the direction in which the normals are facing please let me know. also i would like to know if there are any other ways to go about to get the displacement of the particles in a particular direction.

thanks to all.
