Generates normals from vertices so you do not have to do it manually. If [code]flip[/code] is [code]true[/code], the resulting normals will be inverted. [method generate_normals] should be called [i]after[/i] generating geometry and [i]before[/i] committing the mesh using [method commit] or [method commit_to_arrays].

For correct display of normal-mapped surfaces, you will also have to generate tangents using [method generate_tangents].
[b]Note:[/b] [method generate_normals] only works if the primitive type to be set to [constant Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES].

Generates a tangent vector for each vertex. Requires that each vertex have UVs and normals set already.
