C4D how to flip normals?
I have just imported a model I made from maya 2008. When I render, some of the objects on my character look black. I suspect this is a problem of flipped normals.
If so I hope someone can assist me with the problem.
Thanks in advance -

In the functions menu there is an Align normals option. (u-a)
Or you can select the polys and use the reverse normals also from the functions menu.

Thank you.
I also have another question. Is it possible to soften edges or anything like that in c4d? Because when i align normals, the object looks very faceted and sharp. I read somewhere that if I delete the normals tag, I can get it to look softer but that just makes the model very blunt and the lighting on it gets very messed up. -
it sounds like your object does not have a Phong tag

Some imported models just have bad geometry and you can’t make them look good without a normals tag. It’s often the case when there are lots of long, skinny triangles in the mesh.

yeah i had done some booleans on it. my bad.
But even other clean areas look blunt. Is there anything I can do with the phong angle? -
you can try and increase the phong angle.
