Oh you poor poor boy....degenerate facets or "black facets"....happens to the best of us... What you have is degerate factes, an anomilly that sometimes occurs. The fix is to: 1) re-export and hope it works 2) slightly change the shape of the object 3) re-export with a higher number of vertices 4) (and probably your best bet) is to read this post: http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=88317 This post is from Steve Cox and his latest version of uvmapper will check for degenerate facets and fix them. I really suggest you try and learn uvmapper, it will help out a lot and you'll be glad you did. If you need help with uvmapper, let me know, if you want me to do it, let me know, I'll be glad to help. If you choose me...ha..ha..."Davo!! I choose you"...Pokemon, get it? ha ha I don't have the latest version of uvmapper yet, so It may take a day or so. Davo
