: Users can select normals and use a rotation gizmo or absolute values to set their direction. Hard/Soft Edges
For hard surface artists working on mechanical objects, vehicles, or architectural elements, achieving perfectly sharp edges while maintaining smooth curved surfaces is critical. The Vertex Normal Tool allows you to selectively harden or soften specific edges, overriding the global Phong tag behavior for precise control.
For those interested in the cost, one source indicates an original price of (approximately $27.50 USD ) or 399 yuan/lifetime (approximately $55 USD ) for a version of the plugin [19†L20]. Another reference mentions a one-year membership for 48 yuan and a lifetime membership for 96 yuan for a related tool [19†L19-L20]. However, a free "Lite" version has also been available in the past, though it might be limited in features [2†L39-L40][17†L20].
The 1.0.5 update focuses on stability, optimization, and seamless integration with modern versions of Cinema 4D.
