Well that did improve the quality....
but there is no setting to import vertex normal but there is a tool
I´m trying to run that.....
Thats what i got so far ....
The mesh is attached to one of the posts
before....from Keith 1961....
All the top was joined only the bottom wasnt ...
Peter

You are right with the flipped normals too !
But it has half of the car flipped and the other vice versa....
Tried on the front to flip the normals of every poly but one gerts old with
that procedure.. hahaha ; P
Peter

From the Truespace forums I got the
information that flipped normals ( partly) can be normalised
through a dummy boolean subtraction (with a second object not touching the first one ) !
Peter

Hi Peter, doesn't trueSpace have a "flip" direction command?

It looks like the car is in 2 separate meshes, can't you select the entire 2nd mesh and flip it?

This car breaks down into many more pieces in Truespace(about 10 thats how it was posted by keith )
and can be flipped each one that way yes....
but I rather have an option to flip all at once.
I have a few Moi 3d files with dozens of seperate parts all stored in the file and only some are flipped.
The flip tool on each of them would be to difficult as some parts are just small screws...
The boolean subtraction did well on the whole model in one go.
For some reason i did not look into the detail yet the parts did
not all join easily... but I must look at that closer.....
Thanks
Peter

Hi people
I have been away from the discussion for a while. I'm sorry my car is causing problems. I didn't do a very good job of mirroring the body and there were numerous other small problems but it imported into carrara as a smooth object. The SLK that someone else has made looks like a much better model to play with if they will distribute the model.

Thanks for complementing my renders Michael.

Is there any method to forward the discussion to an email address as I forget to check back?

Hi Keith,

There isn't any way to forward the entire discussion to an e-mail address, but in the forum you can go to Options / Email & Privacy and turn on "Notify by email of posts to me".

That will send you an e-mail notification if anyone posts a reply to a message that you posted.

Hi Keith !
Thank you for letting us look at your model.
Its a good way of trying out the software and
I have learned a ton from Michael and your help !
thanks a lot !
Peter
