 So in our example each slice contains 5 vertex-points. 
 
-Then we use the first vertex point together with the 6:th and the “point on plane” to define a perpendicular line (vector actually) to the plane.

+From those perpendicular vectors we calculate an average normal vector that we use in the surface calculations.

 The idea is to walk the way around in about 4 steps and use the average result.
