Wierd lighting effects on DTS model
by Michael Chew · in Artist Corner · 10/18/2008 (3:35 am) · 2 replies
I have a house model from Dexsoft. iI imported it from .3ds to max. No problems so far and I am able to render it correctly in max. Then I exported it to dts and use Showtool pro on it.

The faces above and below the windows seem to be receiving different lighting. The faces are actually flat as the rest of the wall. If i turn off lighting in showtool, it will look fine. Does anyone have any ideas whats going on?
thx
mike
edit: unsure how to add a image

have fixed the white edges. and thx for the posting tip, kinda missed that one.
and back to the point.
Darn geez, you are absolutely correct. THose faces were in a different smoothing group. Its all good now. Thanks again for the help and might i add a pretty prompt one too. You have no idea how much hair i have been yanking. And oh did i mention, love your art packs.

You might want to crop that image off that white bleeding area.
The problem with your model has to do with the normals. If you are not sure how the edit normals / smoothing groups in max, just do a quick search on the internet. Is fairly simple.
