Just 2 things I need to fix in my model

1: Inside-out faces
How Do I fix this in blender?
Ive known about this for a while and could fix it in fragmotion but I now want to figure out blender better.

2:console errors while exporting
it says "index is out of range"
Im getting VERY close to an animated, dbpro ready model directly from blender and I just need these fixed

In the .x exporter, there is a button named "recalc.no" for recalculate normals. click on that when you export. I'm not sure about the second question though.


I seem to be overly lost in shadow and bloom... I must be in a game.

For "inside-out faces", select the faces, press w, and click "flip normals".

lol three different ways.

Hessiess has the right answer in that one

Go into edit mode with your model, select all faces, and ctrl+N that biatch.

Ctrl-n doesn't always work for me, that's why I do it manually.

it normally works so long as there are no doubles or internal faces. pressing ctrl+shift+n will recalculate the normals inside. holes are easy to see in uv mode, with display set to textured. assuming the mesh is not already textured, do a simple project from view unwrap, add->image->uv test grid. set the size to about 1024. any incorrect normals will show as a hole in the mesh. anouther way is to add a sub-serf modifier, incorrect normals will make an ugly black band.

Yeah it should work as long as there are no screwy faces. I found that if ctrl N doesn't work then it's my error.

This is a random sentence about squirrels.

my model is animated in dbpro now (YAY)
but there is one last problem I need to fix, The bones dont animate right.

I made a test animation of my character flailing his arm.
The problem is the size of the arm is forced to change because the hand ov my character wants to move in a straight line in dbpro and not curve around like its supposed to.

Il try a few more things but If I cant get this to work Id need some advice.
