Are they showing up in Zeroeditor? If not then make sure the MSHs are in the MSH folder.

Can you guys see a problem somewhere...? :?

I don't know why, and even if I just use the .msh as a prop it still doesn't work... :o

I don't know if it's a problem occuring when I export, but I've tried to do EVERYTHING and set everthing before I exported - and I DID NOT hide a layer or something similar in XSI... :wink:

Cause. We need someone to scoop up fodder, so we just makethe nw people do it. Cheap labour and all that.

When it comesto textures you have to have the .tga file and .tga.option when applicable in the same place as the referenced .msh. Remember to remunge once you put it here.

I dunno - was 1½ year ago since I took the pictures :lol:

I KNOW it's not a missing texture on my models, and nomatter in what direction I'm looking at or from, the mesh is just not visible... :? I've tried everything in the past 1½ year now :roll:

So my conclusion is: if a texture was missing it would be white or grey all ove rthe mesh - but the mesh itself would be visible.
I've tried all I could think of with fixing it, and if it would be inverted polygons, I SHOULD be able to see the 'other' side of the mesh when I looked through it.

but Egg_guts, it seems to me like the polygons have been inverted. Was that a costum model you made yourself or from the assets?

No It's not a custom (though I would like to make one)
it's from the assets

Then it's definately odd... :?

Did you copy/paste/overwrite it with the same file from the Assets to see if it works then?

I know very little about making models, but yours looks very big. Could it be too big? Have you tried breaking it into smaller sections like the captial ships?
