thanx for the help, I tried flipping the polygons with the group tool in poser but they just disappeared and than I opened it back in carrara ,and there is a polymesh:reverse normals option but I can't use it .was the 3D explorer just to view the objectfor the inversed polygons(I can do that in poser) or does it convert it so that I can reverse normals when I open it back into carrara or perhaps I'm not using the rightoptions when I open it up in carrara.I will try using UV mapper butI am unsure ofwhatto do with that exactly.I really hope there is a way to fix this problem, thanxagain
