help- invisible plains


#1

Heyo-
I went through this car tutorial, and started out with blueprints plains, but i have a problem:

I can’t see them from some angles in the perspective view, even though i turned on “force two sided” and the default lightning both in the perspective view configuration and in the material editor (thought it might help).

Any help would be appreciated…


#2

the force two sided thing, is that just in the render settings where you’ve set it?

you need to set it in display settings, the force 2 sided in render settings is for when you render, not the normal viewport display

hope that helps

Actually the “Force 2 sided” in the Rendering got out perfectly, it’s just the perspective view problem.

This is what i did exactly- right click the perspective label in the perspective view-> configuration, and under “Rendering options” turned on “Force 2 sided” and “default lightning”.

But it seems like the perspective view is divided to four (90 degrees each) views, and you can’t see the plains in some of them…


#4

right, I thought you meant ‘force 2 sided’ in the rendering options … i just did what you said in my max and it worked fine, have you set your material to 2 sided also?

edit: yep, just checked you need to set 2-sided on your material too

tnx for the quick reply- I’VE PUT ON 2 SIDED ON EVERY PLACE KNOWN TO MEN- materials, render, perspective view… but the plains are invisible sometimes on the perspective view…

blat!

hmm … I can’t think of anything right now … hopefully somebody else will come along … it seems to work on mine

maybe its a driver issue? dunno … anybody else?

Never mind- Problem solved…
I have a GeForce 4 MX 440 graphic card and i changed the driver from “Direct 3d” to “OpenGL”
and it works now… doesn’t have a clue why, but it works :slight_smile:

ah … I changed to opengl sometime ago, I kept getting alot of nasty corrupt file problems have hardly had max crash on me since :slight_smile:


#9

I had the same problem some time ago…what i did was this.
I aplied a shell modifier in max 6 on each plain,that seems to fix the problem.
