Alright this is really weird, i have 3DS and this has got me stumped. All of a sudden i make faces by going clockwise instead of counterclockwise. 3DS shows that doing it this way makes the face oriented towards me. However, halo still compiles it backward meaning what i am seeing is the backside to it. Is there something in 3DS that i may have hit to cause it to do this?

i had this happen once but as it turns out...once it was in-game it really was backwards...or rather..inside out. i never really figured out why but i think it had to do with the way i Attached chunks of geometry together.

hmm... Maybe if this happens i'll just have to make it the way it looks then flip it after all is said and done.

if you do that do the unwraps afterwards

That's what i started doing. I already knew that or else it would reset it.
