I finished and textured my Were wolf in milkshape, my best model ever. I export it EXACTLY how it says in the 'milkshape export settings' stickey thing. I load my model... its tiny, so I resize it. I look at it, and it has missing faces ALL over! It looks like it was beat up, cut up, eaten up and spit out, puked on, and anything else you can think of! It looks amazing in Milkshape, but missing faces and such in DBPro... I'm so mad...
If it might help, I modelled it by making vertexis with the vertex tool. I connected the vertexes into faces with the face too and moved the vertexes to shape the object. I did that for the whole model too...

Can somebody PLEASE, help???!?!?!??

Have you recalculated the normals? Or does milkshape have a tool for that? It sounds like you have some reversed normals on the model(the faces are pointing the wrong way). If you dont' have a recalc norm button then you have to find them manually and reverse them w/ a button that milkshape hopefully has.

Im sick of Master Chief soo...ooga booga!!
Explain to me why some people pay money for 3d software? Its not 3d till its been blended. wwww.blender3d.org

try right clicking on one of the milkshape screens and make sure that "Draw Backfaces" is not checked this will show you if you have any faces that are "holes" (pointing the wrong direction)

because sometimes when connecting verticies together, like you said you are doing, you will create them facing the wrong way... the order you click on them when creating a face is important, if you click on them clockwise then it will face one way, if you click on them counter-clockwise they will face the other!

if your using milkshape set the render screen to "Flat Shaded" and anything that is BLACK is a reversed face.....

Normally the reversed faces only appear darker in the render screen if you have it set to smooth shaded or textured so it is hard to figure out which one is reversed....

perhaps you need to weld the vertices together, if not just plug the holes. If the holes are not present in milkshape but appear in DBP then show us the file or email it to someone with some cred around here to sort out the problem

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 
