Now I don't claim to be clever or be great at modelling or texturing, but I am having a slight problem with some models I was making for FPSC. Here is what it looks like rendered within 3DS Max:


Now in the next two pictures, you can see the problems.
1 - The model is on its side.
2 - The cloth can only be seen from above and not underneath/within.



Any help will be greatly appreciated

if its in FPSC on its side, just use 1,2,3,4,5,6 to rotate in the right direction. Not sure about the underneath thing, im no modeller

The cloth can't be seen because it's face underneath is backwards, and is therefore invisible (I think?).

Its not IN Fpsc its on its side, its while I am using the entitymaker it shows on its side. In 3DS max though, the material is set to 2-sided, meaning it should show on both sides. Without that ticked in 3DS, it doesn't show underneath either... :/

Duplicate the cloth and reverse normals and it will work in fpsc.

That's strictly a 3ds max convention - FPSC has no concept of 2-sided materials. As starmind said, if you want it to show on both sides, then you need to model geometry on both sides.


Did you rotate and manipulate your model in 3ds Max at any point during your modeling? If so , you need to reset X-form before exporting.

All 3DS Max models are on their side, as it likes to use Z as the Y axis. Flip Axis on export, so it's the right way.

you can use the shell modifier to solve this problem instead of modeling a new one.
