Is it possible to get the surface normal in material editor?

I tying to make a low poly style material. I order to calculate each surface’s lighting I need the surface normal of each surface. But I can’t find any node called surface normal in material editor. I would very appreciate if anyone could help me.

While there is no such thing as surface normal in material editor, I will reference you a thread, which has examples of how to achieve this effect. It is for landscapes initially, but is still applicable for static meshes.

Great! That`s work , thanks a lot.

You’re welcome. If that resolved your question, kindly mark it as answered and consider upvoting correct answer. Thanks.

For people finding this answer now, there is now a VertexNormalWS node in the material editor which returns the surface normal.
