fist time ever working with MAX and im stuck! help Please...

[justintime1]

Hi there, your help would be hugely appreciated!

 

As you will appreciate from the Sean i'm constructing i'm a complete novice with 3dmax.

 

My problem iv encounted is that within the perspective view the objects aren’t being drawn correctly and when they are rendered bits are missing???

 

Rather odd, as in the plan and section views the mesh seam to be intact... and i can see no reason why they wouldn’t be.

 

see atached image,

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I only set about teaching my self Max this evening and already iv hit a bit of a hold up.

 

many thanks

How did you model this object? I think is the direction of the normals. If you apply a standard material with 2-sided checked and it renders fine, than your normals are pointing in the wrong direction and you have to flip them.

That's what I think.

Good luck,

Its inside out, you can either force 2 sided in the render globals, assign a 2 sided material or check the flip normals in the lathe modifier...

Thanks a million folks.

 

Little things like that are going to drive me bonkers for a wile im sure, I spent four years using cinema and it a hole lot more simple.

 

Im sure this wont be the last Post I make wile teaching my self this program..

 

Many thanks .

Well as long as you keep asking these easy ones...hehe

you will need to filp the faces, i don't know how you draw this, if you are using the lathe modifier, you will need to click the "flip faces" on modifier pannel as manta says...
