probably degenerate triangles. Import the .wrl using chimp, then run it and select (whatever your maps called).wrl Then in select by name, select all the chimp face errors and then it will show you where the degenerate triangles are.

Edited by deadlyfighter1000 on Jun 6, 2009 at 02:34 PM its basiclly a triangle inside another triangle or its back to front or all the vertexes are in a straight line. move the vertexes on the triangle until it looks normal. |

Let me pull up my handy little picture :D
Degenerate triangles a tri's with 3 colinear points, so somehow, your 3 verts are on the same edge like this:  E: you can fix it by target welding B to A or deleting the triangle entirely and re-creating the face. Edited by UnevenElefant5 on Jun 7, 2009 at 11:18 AM |
