It changes the color on the wing??

 

[abaser]

Yup! I went in and deleted all of the inside faces of the front part of the fuse and was attempting to remap. I was unhiding all of the other parts when I found it.

 

[jeffpn]

Are you sure it's not a duplicate object?

 

[flexible]

See if that Color is in the Outliner list.

 

[abaser]

But why would that make it change its color when dealing with another part? Ill check it though.

 

[flexible]

What is you're polie count? You may have objects twice.

 

[abaser]

I did go in and start deleting some extra materials and got the color to go away. Im still wondering why the gear made the wings change like that. Ill give the polies a look tomorrow.

 

[abaser]

And the curse continues with a ghost face and hidden verts

 

[abaser]

Well, after an exorcism, two blessings, and a sacrifice of a virgin, problem solved I loop cut the fuse behind the canopy, deleted the inside faces, and intruded again adding depth to the walls.

 

[Boof69]

When you are creating thickness like your describing here. Do you use the .shell Extrude command?

 

[abaser]

Ive tried that before but it seems to create too many unnecessary faces. I used the intrude command here.

 

[jeffpn]

Shell extrude creates a seperate object. Not what you're looking for, as you found.

 

[abaser]

Anybody ever get this while mapping?

Internal Error:BAD AIRITH

I was mapping the wing struts using the unfolding method if that helps.

 

[Boof69]

All I know is it means bad arithmetic.

 

[flexible]

I never saw that, give us a screenshot, please.

 

[abaser]

1of 2. For some unfound reason, I can only get one pic at a time to load.

 

[abaser]

Note how the pieces look really mishaped after mapping.

 

[jeffpn]

Use Projection Normal. Also, the objects must be combined to show together on the map.

 

[abaser]

Thats what I normally do, but I was just trying out this other way. Ive seen Flexible use it a number of times to prevent stretching on the edges. It worked fine on the tail surfaces and I was just curious as to why the struts wouldnt work.

As for the combining of parts, I do that after I map everything. Just seems a little easier for me.

 

[flexible]

The flatten tool, should be used on parts that are flat to begin with. the more rounded the part, the more destortion there will be useing flatten, unless you cut the corners. Think of a flat bottom paper drinking cup.
