    Default a Simple render Problem

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    First of all sorry for my poor English..
    i'm a newbie in render and 3d modeling and i have a problem in Rendering ...
    I was going to render a very simple model consisting of 3dfaces but once i checked the “Discard Back faces” option , some of the faces didn't render and were hidden ..
    i know this is probably because of the direction of Normals of the faces but i don't know how i can change the direction of the Normal of a face(3dface.. etc..) so that with “Discard Back faces” option unchecker, i can get the appropriate result..
    Thanks in advance guys..

    Unless you have a HUGE model never discard backfaces.

    Spin the model using 3DO or Pull down VIEW then 3DVIEW then SE ISO then use NE to check.

    Thanks again for the help Mr. T...

    while trying to fix the problem , i found that if u select the points of a 3Dface in a counter clockwise order when u're drawing it, the direction of the normal vector will be towards ur view plane and the problem of "Back Faces" in rendering stage simply vanishes..!
