It's a prop in Free Stuff. I exported it as an obj and then ran it thru UV Mapper, but that didn't do any good. Thanks for the help!

Did you try the Poser Grouping tool to select those polygons alone and flip the normals?

I selected the parts that have that black on it and then hit "Reverse Group Normals" but it made no difference...

They are degerenate or collinear facets -- I'd say degenerate most likely. There is a hot Key in UVMapper mapper for it but I don't recall right off the top of my head.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)

Its the insert key....if that doesn't fix it you can select the segments and split the vertices, it might spoil the smoothing though.....Steve

Geez, I don't know how to do all that plus I just have the UV Mapper freebie anyway....:>0

Dizzie, 1) open UV mapper classic 2) load Moonstone obj file 3) on the top toolbar select: edit---> tools---> Split Vertices 4) Save model with a new name, open it in poser & see if that fixes the problem. If so resave the obj file with the original name.
