I’m trying to understand what it means to normalize a model. In working with databases, I normalize a database by making sure there is only one copy of any data in the database.
My math skills are weak and I’m trying to understand what it means to normalize a model. If it means what I think it does (scale the model so that all points are between 0 and 1), then it might help me fix my problem of centering any model my app loads and keeping the camera in one direction … or at least, it would make doing all this much easier. Then I wouldn’t have to get the min and max x, y, and z values and figure out the centrioid because I would always know it. Does this make sense?
Can anyone elaborate on this?
