What program you use? If it's max3,4 or 5, there are plug-ins for that...max6 no such luck. MS3D also has plug-ins to export to .mod.
Title: Re: 1st attempt at modelling and texturing a ship..
Post by: markyd on July 04, 2004, 11:45:43 am: Im using 5... I have the plugins.... and I am only getting this problem with this particular model... I have three others That i'm working on and they export fine??

The mesh is flawless no holes gaps or anything... renders perfectly under max... but the second I export it into .mod format and then later import it or view it as a .mod model some of the faces are transparent.. you rotate around the model then those faces reappear and some others turn transparent... very wierd... But again the model is fine as a max file...

I have other models and their fine its just this one... :(

Thanks

Yeah my first proper attempt.. picked up a copy of 3ds max 2 months ago... did some tuts... got myself a copy of photoshop 7 did some tuts... so in two months this is the result... never touched 3d software or anything before..

its a start and i'll stick with it..

thanks Dizzy
