Screwy normals in Max?

Andreas

I have screwed up Normals from importing a mesh. I seem to recall a modifier or tool that rest all the normals to their correct alignment, but cant for the life of me remember what it is called. Poopinmymouth used it in one of his video tutorials many moons ago. It's not the normals modifier, that just flips or unifies them. It's called something else. Anyone know? Its driving me mad.

"edit normals" modifier?

Reset xform?

Andreas

Yeah I think it was xform; I tried that, didn't work. But what the actual problem was, faces are actually dissapearing because I must be using the wrong export settings out of Blender. Damn. Thanks anyways.

Try dropping an STL check on there and see what it tells you.

Oh, also if it's a really heavy model it could just be the adaptive degradation that max has on by default for viewports.

Tried unify normals and or flip normals in the edit poly modifier?
