In cinema 4d normals can be swapped or aligned to surrounding faces, that might
fix the issue eric. Good call Katie!

Hey Guys,
I don't know what programs you use. But in maya, the backface culling could be
an issue with what is called NORMALS. Each polygon face has a normal. It either
faces in or out.
It is represented by a line either sticking into the object or sticking out.
For the most part you always want your normals facing out.
You can turn the display of normals on/off in maya. Basically it shows which
way the polygon is facing. I usually check my normals periodically, cause
sometimes when you extrude faces/edges the software interpolates the polygons
in the wrong direction. Especialy if you are modifing existing objects by
"creating polygons", which is what I tend to do a lot.
Anyway, just thought I would throw some info out there. Hopefully this helps so
you know what's going on with your models.
Happy Gaming!
I am planning on working on a shovel and pickaxe/texturing tonight (being
Tuesday) if that works?...

milkshape but didnt know the reason :P

actually thats not true, milkshape does have back face culling on in it.
i saw the polys of the barrel in that program as if they were unlit but im not
sure why...
anyways, i noticed the problem in the game engine and just reversed the vertex
order in milkshape and it fixed it (:

All the polygons were facing the wrong way so when you looked at the barrel you
saw the inside polygons and the outside ones were invisible from back face
culling.
I don't know how that happened but you can fix it in milkshape. Just select
the whole object and under the "Face" menu, select "reverse vertex order".
Milkshape doesn't have back face culling but you can tell if something is
facing the wrong way or not in milkshape because if it is, it will be really
dark like it's unlit cause it uses a 1 sided shading model.

hey alan it does look pretty cool man, definitely coming into shape. can't
wait to tackle the next milestone...
hey though, quick question... what did you mean the barrel was inside out? how
would it get like that? how did you fix it? haha

Message: Added Eric's models to the map in a few places, turned the barrel
inside out (it was inside out so this fixed it!) and since textures were bein a
problem for the lantern i just set it to some solid colors for now. Things are
lookin nice!
