Hi,

is there a normal tag in c4d that lets me assign my own normals to a polygonobject? I thought I saw that some time ago but I am not sure if it was a c4d tag or a custom tag.

Also some info or better example on how to fill the tag would be nice. I am in a real hurry!

thanks in advance and appreciate any help

Yes.  Tnormal

Normals tag. (Contains 12 WORDs per polygon, enumerated like the following: ax,ay,az,bx,by,bz,cx,cy,cz,dx,dy,dz. The value is the Real value of the normal vector component multiplied by 32000.0.)

It is a VariableTag so you should expect to use the methods there to get at that data.
