class bpy.types.TriangulateModifier(Modifier)

Triangulate Mesh

keep_custom_normals

Try to preserve custom normals (WARNING: depending on chosen triangulation method, shading may not be fully preserved, ‘Fixed’ method usually gives the best result here)

Type:boolean, default False
min_vertices

Triangulate only polygons with vertex count greater than or equal to this number

Type:int in [4, inf], default 0
ngon_method

Method for splitting the polygons into triangles

  • BEAUTY Beauty, Arrange the new triangles evenly (slow).
  • CLIP Clip, Split the polygons with an ear clipping algorithm.
Type:enum in [‘BEAUTY’, ‘CLIP’], default ‘BEAUTY’
quad_method

Method for splitting the quads into triangles

  • BEAUTY Beauty , Split the quads in nice triangles, slower method.
  • FIXED Fixed, Split the quads on the first and third vertices.
  • FIXED_ALTERNATE Fixed Alternate, Split the quads on the 2nd and 4th vertices.
  • SHORTEST_DIAGONAL Shortest Diagonal, Split the quads based on the distance between the vertices.
Type:enum in [‘BEAUTY’, ‘FIXED’, ‘FIXED_ALTERNATE’, ‘SHORTEST_DIAGONAL’], default ‘BEAUTY’

classmethod bl_rna_get_subclass_py(id, default=None)
