Extracting an object’s faces into individual polygons should be a little easier in C4D. There are a couple of ways to separate polygon faces, some more tedious than others. What if you wanted to separate polygon faces in C4d easily?

Vic extends this a step further by including that you can add compositing tags and external compositing tags per individual faces – so that you can have more control in After Effects.

Its creator Charles Rowland (@ragingclaw) wanted to develop a replacement for the standard Cinema 4D Split Command as it is very easy produce unexpected and unwanted results when trying to separate polygon faces from even the simplest objects.
