Transparency Issue

Yelle

Hi guys, I have a problem. I'm modelling this cube to use as a prop in a game my group is working on. After modelling it from a single plane, I unwrapped it, triangulated it and brought it into Sculptris to test the painting function of Sculptris. However when I brought the model it the faces that I was looking at directly turned transparent (as per the picture below)

This isn't the first time I've encountered this, and I was wondering what went wrong in my modelling process. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You posted this in a wrong section, this should be in the technical talk. Anyways, this isn't a transparency issue, its just the faces got flipped for some reason. You can flip them back in your modeling software.

Ah, I'll see what I can do about the wrong section thing. Also yeah, I thought it might've been flipped faces. Problem is, google hasn't been helping much regarding backfaces and stuff.

I don't use Maya, but you should try these links out:

select the faces, then go up to normals tab and click reverse. oh, you also have to have "Polygons" selected in your drop down to see it.

And with show normals you have a indicator for each face.

Thanks guys. My normals were not all pointing the same way. I made them conform and then reversed them to get them to face the correct side (Outwards) after showing the normals.
