.. _auto_vector_cross:

*VECTOR CROSS*
==============

Computes the cross product of two 3-component vectors, returning a third vector orthogonal to both inputs. Use this worker whenever you need a surface normal, torque axis, or any other operation that requires the vector (×) product of two spatial vectors.
