reversing normals on parametric surface

I’m making an underwater scene with a HOT4d surface.
In order to render it properly (Redshift) I need to make it editable and flip the normals.

But I’d rather keep it live, so I can test + tweak the subdivisions etc

Anyone got a great idea to make this possible? I’m pretty new to C4D, so I might be missing something obvious.

Cheers,

P

Of course shortly after I post this question I think of the initial orientation of the surface.

Making it -Y instead of +Y works.

Thanks for answering your own question, patrick.nethercoat, very much appreciated.

Without a scene file, I wouldn’t have to know what object you use, as that wouldn’t have worked with a cylinder, as shown on the website of hot4d.

However, Maxon’s Labs has tools for that:

My best wishes for your project
