3ds thinks my model is inside out?

lotus

How can I fix my model so that 3ds stops treating it like its inside out? Something happened during the process and now it treats basically every polygon in my model like its backfacing, even if I am clicking on the front of it. When I use the push modifier I have to use a negative factor to inflate it, otherwise it shrinks.

The other problem with this is that when I go to bake my occlusions and cavity maps, the entire bake turns out black because it thinks every face is internal.

HELP??

Select all the poly's on your mesh, and then just press "flip"

That fixed it! Thanks a lot!

It helps to turn on backface culling as well. Which is in object properties.

It'll let you see which way faces are pointing.

backface culling is also more accurate to how a video game engine will display the mesh. Useful when working on lowpoly versions of meshes.
