Hello all,I'm trying to find out the normal at each point a,b,c,d of a determined polygon. I've read here on the forum that the way to go is to average each neighbour polygon face normal but:
Doesn't this averaging method ignore the polygon smoothing groups? (think of averaging a box polygons normals would 'round' it) or maybe that concept does not exist in c4d?
thanks!

In what version of c4d was that implemented? I use v8.5 and I don't seem to find it in the docs?
