Is there a better way of getting all normal to be unified then painting onto each one of them and doing poly by poly ? here is an example of half of a model inside out !:confused: (imported with the luuv plug into 7.51 Post by jamesmc // Feb 23, 2008, 3:42pm jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 I haven't found a way. Even if I painted the whole object with the same paint , I get flipped normals, which end up not really being flipped, but a bug in the way tS handles luuv imports. I've even grabbed painted objects from the object library I have saved that have appeared completely painted with the flipped normal problem appearing to have been resolved, only to find later, they have flipped again. Personally, I think it's a Bridge problem having eliminated most other problems. (missing textures etc.) Post by Jack Edwards // Feb 23, 2008, 10:10pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 You can try boolean subtracting a cube that isn't touching the model from it.

Post by Changa // Feb 24, 2008, 12:06am Changa Total Posts: 187 You can try boolean subtracting a cube that isn't touching the model from it. Try to triangulate the model before substracting. Sometimes it helps. And try standard Ts obj import with "fix normals" checked/unchecked.

Post by RAYMAN // Feb 24, 2008, 3:54am RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 Hi ! Thank you all for the help ! I had some luck with boolean subtraction... The mesh is exported from Moi and it does not have a unify option . Anything else wopuld have changed the mesh so that gave the best result.. Thanks again Peter
