Static Vertex Maps

 

There are 6 plugins that can create procedurally vertex maps based on various criteria like mesh geometry, lighting, mesh deformations, mesh animation.

Topology Vertex Maps : 5 static (fast and some unique modes eg. curvature) and 2 deformation modes
Influence Point : 5 static and 4 dynamic modes
Nitro Vertex : ambient occlusion (extremely slow to calculate)
Difference Map : objects deformations
PLAVelocity : points velocity
Vertex AO : ambient occlusion and facing proximity
  

Topology Vertex Maps offers 5 static modes. Each is calculated very swiftly :


Ambient Occlusion
 

Mesh Density
 

Mesh Curvature
 

Volume Depth
 

Shadow

Influence Point offers 4 static modes, which are recalculated on each action, this significantly slows down C4D. Thickness mode is extremely slow on larger meshes, which makes it almost unusable on meshes with > 100kPoly.


Position
  

Geometry Density
 

Angle
 

Thickness (very slow)
(model had to be strongly decimated)
 

Rotation (angle to a target object)
