  Polygon Problems

  Posted by Stuart Samuels on October 10, 2013 at 10:08 pm

  Hi.
  I’m very new to 3d modelling and have been working on an animation using free Umbrella model that I downloaded.

  Everything is fine apart from 2 polygons that aren’t not behaving like the others. You can see what I mean (hopefully) in the first image below.

  

  

  Could anyone offer any possible reasons or solutions?

  Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

  Hard to say without having the model to look at. Possible problems are reversed normals, disconnected points, or possibly some other defect like double faces. What I would do is delete those polygons and replace them with new ones using the bridge tool or the “close polygon hole” tool.

  Thanks Adam, much appreciated. I’ll give your suggestions a try.
