What wrong with PIE Editor

[Firechkn34]

in the 3D view mode i get my model that looks like this:

Hard_point.JPG

not talking about the texture, i will fix that. what can i do about the fact that some of the polygons are gone. they reappear when i turn the model but other ones then go away. is their anything i can do about this or is this just how PIE slicer works?

I think that you have some polygons facing the wrong way. (look for the line sticking out for face direction)

If you have a face facing the wrong way - is there a non painstaking way of fixing particular faces?

I think it's ctrl+F, it's definately a key combination using the F key.

From Stratadrake's .rtf Read Me file that accompanies the PieSlicer download:

Polygons > Cull Face * F9 = Hides all polygons on the "other side" of your model, un-cluttering the display and giving you a better impression of your model’s shape. This function is also useful for debugging normal vectors and making polygons face in their proper directions.

Flip Normal * Ctrl+F = Flips a polygon’s normal vector, making it face the other direction.

In short - you're Topic Heading should be: "What am I not doing properly in using PieSlicer ?" instead of "What wrong with PIE Editor ?"

Understand that PieSlicer has been used successfully for the better part of a decade now to create most of the major completed and released WZ GFX Mods - including, but not limited to, "LOD" and "v.1.12 Mod" and by extension, the mod that is included in current binary distro... .
