I am a noobtard, no need for the iconified evil face. And thanks a ton. Behold my first ever 3d model, now with fixed faces! A ninja star for one of my games!

they wre messed up for some reason. I made the vertices, made faces from them, and some of the faces pointed inside while some pointed out.

also another question if anyone would be so kind: can milkshape export an unwrapped thing to make a texture on, or can lithunwrap export a bmp with lines of where which parts will be wrapped around the model? thanks.

that's because when you make faces the order you click on the vertices determines the direction the face will...face...

if you click on them in clockwise fashion it will face one way, and it will face the other way if you click on them in counter-clockwise fashion.

as for the UVMapping stuff, well i don't use lithunwrap...so i don't know

it would probably be easier to use a plane with a ninja star texture on it with black around the parts that need to have alpha on em.

go with lithunwrap for basic uv, the built-in version on Milkshape is a bit primitive and very labor intensive on more detailed models..

but the star will be right up by the camera (the camera zooms into the player and he becomes transparent and it shows the ninja star, then it throws when they release the mouse).

if you gonna be using collision I would think using an object over a plane is more advantageous anyway....

More precisely, selecting clockwise results in a back face, obviously, if your vertices are at the back of your models, then this is right, but if the vertices are at the front, then it's wrong... as such, selecting anti-clockwise results in forward faces...

...maybe one day I'll finish a project
