Hey folks, I'm having a problem. I modelled a knife in Lightwave, and then imported it. The mesh looked messed up. But when I rendered it, the part that appeared in error was fixed. Here's a pic, maybe yall can help me out. Thanks! Ben MessianicArt.com

ummm.... hmmm. :/ in lightwave, check for double-sided polygons. shoot, i can never remember the command name for that. i think it is merge polygons? also check for 1 and 2 sided polygons and delete them. check for >4 sided polygons and make them tris/quads. i dunno what that is in your picture, but those are the problems i know that can come up with lightwave stuff.

BTW, UVMapper Pro is really helpful for flipping polygons, triangulating polygons with too many sides, and double sided things. I use it all the time for fixing models exported from various modeling programs, and have found it to be invaluable. lynn
