Yes, do take a walk. Drink plenty of water & take some rest. It can get frustrating sometimes.

I'm going to stop fretting over a headlight.

the twisted texture is something else now... I think I'll keep going with the tutorial until we start applying maps. If it's still obvious problem then, I'll try to fix thigns

01 Feb 05:24

meat

Prabu, I can't find that in 3ds, 'cos I'm too n00b, but I added the flip normal modifier for now, like Ursula suggested

01 Feb 05:04

Ursula Dorada

But should be as easy as selecting the faulty faces and clicking flip normals

01 Feb 05:03

Ursula Dorada

Normals just break like that hh

01 Feb 05:00

Prabu

If this dont work...check the view settings.

Prabu

@ Meat: Select Object >> Delete History >> Select Object >> Reset Normals >> Delete History >> Save. Then Close everything & then Reopen the file.

meat

I'm not sure if I should fix and learn, or just delete and remake

01 Feb 04:39

meat

But I didn't do anything.... and this twisty texture... it's a cylinder with extrude! How...why...what...

01 Feb 04:38

Ursula Dorada

Meat, your normals are just flipped. Make sure they are all facing the right direction :p its a quite common error

01 Feb 04:34

meat

I would like to cry.

01 Feb 04:34

meat

And others have inexplicably twisted UV, like someone wrapped it like a candy

01 Feb 04:34

meat

One object even flipped back when I selected it, but inverted itself again once I start rotating the Perspective camera

01 Feb 04:33

meat

I keep getting randomly inverted polygons for no apparent reason

Ursula Dorada

Nope meat, only to a credit card

if it's like that, maybe I'll try it out by linking it to the same one as my PayPal, which doesn't have much to lose
