Vertex map

Vertex map contains a value for each point (vertex) of the object. It can be used for modification of objects shape (depending oin its values, it can restrict certain areas of the mesh from recieveing influences eg. from tools, deformers etc...), it can influence MoGraph effectors and can be used for shading (used in materials via Vertex Map shader). Vertex Maps produce the best results on relatively dense and regular meshes with aligned normals facing outside. C4D allows to manually paint VM on the mesh. Numerous plugins mentioned below can generate VM procedurally taking in account various properties of the mesh and its dynamics :

Topo Maps : creates in realtime procedural vertex maps using various criteria: mesh density, curvature, AO, volume depth, shadow, deformations. Plugin also includes Polyon Transfer Tag allowing to connect complex structure into a single mesh and Vertex Map shader referencing VM by name ($)	Influence Point : tag that creates VM based on points speed, rotation, stretching, acceleration, position, mesh density, thickness, angle. Also it can generate a VM python effector and VM material ($)	Difference Map : Creates VM based on objects' deformation (e.g. to control material shader) ($)	PLAVelocity : creates VM based on objects points velocity (e.g. to drive a shader for soft body - material changing on impact) ($)	Vertex AO : tag that creates VM based on AO/Proximity values. It can be used to speedup render or create special effects base on geometry indentations/crevices ($)
NitroVertex : creates VM from Falloff objects, channel shaders. It allows to mix separate VM. Excellent help for proportional modeling. It also creates VM based on AO/inverted AO and points speed ($)	Vertex Map Animator : allows to interpolate between several vertex maps. It helps to create and animate special effects using the Vertex Map Shader ($)	VertexMapMix : tag that combines several vertex maps into a new vertex map. Normal, Min/Max, Add, Subtract ($)	PolyMass Vertex Map < - > Polygon Selection (free)	PolyPaint : vertex painting in RGBA (color+alpha) Now obsolete ($)
