Texturing problem in ace

[HITTER]

For the last while everytning has been going <BR>ok. When I put my models in to X wing alliance they worked perfect. I had no infinty triangle problems. The face count was just right not to high and not to low. Then when I tryed converting my models to quadrangles I noticed a problem. Ok for example I turn my other 2 triangle faces into one quadrangle. When I look at the face in the texture window its as if the face is still two triangles making the textures point in different directions/or that theres two faces still there wiht the same texture on them. I would really appreciat any help on this one seeing as how none of the tutorials helped. It feels as if I can get by this everthing else will be a brease. My second problem is that the textures are blurring up from different angles. <P>------------------<BR><p>[This message has been edited by HITTER (edited 12 April 2001).]

which Cad program are you using to make you ?DXF's??<P>

[HITTER]

Darksaber thank you for replying to my question. So you asked me what CAD program I am using I am using Rhino amd TurboCAD. However for this model which I have had slight difficulty with I have used Rhino. <P>------------------<BR>

does anyone understand the question I can try to elaberate for you.

Are you sure that the two triangles make a FLAT quadrangle? i.e. it is not creased in the middle

[HITTER]

I dont think so it looks fine in the mesh window but screwed up in the texuring windows. Still go on what to mean by creased.<P>------------------<BR>

Another thought are the faces flipped, in rhino press on render, options and uncheck the render backfaces box. press ok then render it and see what happens<P>if tha faces are flipped, explode the mesh and select the face you wish to be flipped<BR>and in the command line type Flip and press enter,<P>Easier way would be to make a short cut to the Flip you can do the in options.<P>if this isn't the problem show a picture so I can see what is actually going on with your mod

[HITTER]

Thanks Darksaber I think it would be best to <BR>show you the pics of my problem. Although I dont have the time to do so tonight I will most probably put up a new web page tommorow to show you exactly whats going because it really hard to explain.<P>------------------<BR>

Even easier, don't bother exploding the mesh at all. Just select it and type "unifymeshnormals". This makes all faces oriented the same way.

ok i have a problem I extracted DXF from a excisting OPT. The Tie Interceptor I turned the T/I's wings to point backwards and moved it's wing holders to a upward angle. Well when i import into ACE it tells me to load a DXF file. <shrug> Any Ideas? I been working on this ship for like 5 years on and off and gave up on it a few times so any help will be appreicated <P>Invader
