Vertex normals are invisible vectors at each vertex that determine how light interacts with a surface. While high-end applications like 3ds Max and Maya historically offered robust tools for these, Cinema 4D originally relied on Phong tags
— An indispensable utility that fixes a native blind spot in Cinema 4D. Download it immediately. Vertex Normal Tool 1.0.5 for Cinema 4D
The Vertex Normal Tool for Cinema 4D (C4D) allows artists to directly manipulate vertex normals to fix shading errors, improve low-poly assets, and create face-weighted normals. Functioning as a replacement to native Phong tag limitations, this tool enables manual adjustment and alignment of normals for precise lighting control. For more details, visit Unity Discussions .
