Hi!

After a long time I finally continued with meshing my shoes, I started over from scratch and I only got one problem left. My middle strand is completely dark in Milkshape and looks really weird in TSRW.





I re-did that strand and the one before had the same issue. I'm not sure what I could do about it.

Thanks

If the faces are facing the wrong way you should select the strand and try 'Faces / Face Front' or 'Faces / Reverse Vertex Order'. You may have to fix the normals also.

it is most likly due the normals.
fixing normals on diffrent angled planes cause this.
To fix this you have to seperate and alligne the normals on each plane(front and sides seperated, maybe it even has a back side)

Wat you first can try is to delete everything exept those planes, then turn on autosmooth and mirror the mesh and back.
If those planes are seperated on the uvmap then milkshape will autosmooth each plane nicly.
Then turn autosmooth off and import the shoe mesh again, delete the dark planes on it and regroup it with the ones you just fixed.
hopes this makes sence.


if autosmooth doesn't do the job then you need to select all the vertice of the problem part and choose unweld.
Then (with autosmooth on) you mirror it(and back)
