Hi Michael,

Thank you so much for your very insightful explanations. That really helps!

I will do some tests with Softimage and the normals. Initially, it seems that ever object is reversed except objects that have been mirrored, they seem OK but that's just a quick observation. I'm not that competent in Softimage yet having spent years on LW and only recently used Softimage so it might be something to do with Softimage.

Thanks again!

Yes kevjon, a rebuild surface with less points would be helpful in many cases. Hopefully in the future.

Thanks for the link BurrMan. This is a great forum!

Cheers!

Hi Michael,

I got a chance to test some normals with Softimage. It seems that basic objects such as cubes, cylinders, spheres, planes, cones and so on are just fine. Somehow the normals got reversed on this aircraft model (I assume somewhere in the construction phase) but I have no idea where.

I'll let you know if I figure it out.

Cheers!
