Hi guys I've been modelling 2 basins of water.
One has clean water and the other has dirty algae filled water.
Please Note: This is one of my first ever attempts at making a model.

Looks really good. Nice job.

There are 2 faces that need to be flipped and it will be great.

Thanks for your positive feedback

I'm sorta new to modelling so I've got some questions:
1. What are faces?
2. Which faces need to be flipped?
3. What do you mean by flipped?

Faces are the squares that make up the model. There are 2 that are "invisible" Which really means that the faces are facing inwards. I'll take a pic later and show you.

Face means poligon surface, flipping means changing the direction of the normal, that is the direction of a perpendicular rect (the normal) to the surface.

Don't know what modelling program do you use but generally all modelling software have a command to flip it.

If a surface has its normal pointing to the wrong direction the surface is invisible when rendered by FPSC (aldo with direct x viewer)

...looks really great.

Flip those two faces around, and you've got a winner!

Have you downloaded the latest version because I've fixed that bit now.
And have you deleted the '.dbo' files before trying to view them again in FPS Creator?

...nice job on the face fix.

This is a keeper. I really like the look of this model. It'll be a nice touch to enhance an outdoor scene.

Thank you for the generosity...
