Hi everyone

I'm working in scifi pack, but having a problem with some animation in GG.

Using in the video some buildings from Voodoo, thanks Voodoo.
Amazing Rolfy's sky/lights. TY Rolfy.

monorail test:



Animation failing....

In max:



In GG:



That mesh is going to be place in the crane (inside Voodoo's hangar).
But as you can see it is failing, I've tried all the ideas I've, now I had finnished my ideas.

It works fine in Max, but does not in GG.

Normal issues?
I've re-check all them, do not see nothing wrong, even I've tried adding "Normal modifier", (fly/unify normals) with not to aval.

UVW mapping is ok, using 1024/1024 texture size.
Firt all (the crane plus the animate mesh were one mesh), after I've tried making them as separate meshes, all same here.

I`ve added shell modifier, nothing change here.

Any idea?

Thanks guys for all feedbacks and for watching my crappy videos.
Yeah, I know, needding another pc full compatible with GG, just waiting for the next comp.

for a quick check of the normals, set in the fpe file cullmode = 1

send you also a pm

Did you use the mirror function? Try what harry said first, if it doesn't work, clone the one that is ok in Max and just turn it 180.

Looks great btw !

What Emrys says about the mirror, i also had some problems with mirroring.
If you indeed mirror some sections, then reset the x form. and select all polygon faces and recheck the normals.
sometimes you will see that after resetting the x form, some polygons are facing backwards.

Reset xform is your best friend. It makes everything right.

Thanks guys, you are right about xform, I've not mind in that, my fault.

@ Harry
I got your pm, thanks a lot mate.
