wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 07-24- 02:49 PM That looks rather like the effect of an attempt at a convex hull 'make surface' on a concave polygon. #Instead of interpreting the shape correctly, it will join vertexes to make the shape as it sees it! Concave polygons are a big no-no for AC3D. What you need to do is make the tail as sections. All the make surface does is 'shrink-wrap' your mesh. Hope that helps. I'm no 3D guru, but I've had this problem before! IP: Logged
