This article explains the settings and values for the Corona Normal shader in Cinema 4D.

Overview

The Corona Normal is a shader that can be used to load Normal maps that can provide additional fine details to the material surface.

Channels direction

Texture – This slot defines the texture map or shader that will be used to calculate the Normal bump.

Method – These are the different methods to calculate the Normal bump.

Override UVW – This option allows you to use a different UVW channel for the Normal bump.
