How do you get rid of the bad triangles? I dont remeber how i did it the last time.

[Sel]

Just a shot in the dark, but reconstructing edges to fix degenerate triangles?

[Con]

can we see some screenshots of the model? Did tool make the wrl for you to import?

D: its got some bad smoothing errors and i think its the hand plates since the hands and the the upper/forearm model is fine I pieced moses model to a hand plate off vrogy and added the h3b fp hands to it

E: g2g for the day, ill try to import the wrl and see if it works

EE: Con, there is no wrl at all D:

Uhh, you don't get degenerate tris from a set of FP arms. You get them from a map. The map you're trying to compile is having the error, not the arms.

I do believe, sir, that the same modeling errors that occur on a bsp can also occur on a set of fp hands!

[Spartan094]

Selen is right :) it happened to a h3 spartan i was messing around with to add emblems onto it. And i lol'd Nugget, I'm thinking of just editing the h3b arms instead if nobody else knows how to fix this error. If you do much help is appreciated. And I know its the fp arms doing this error no BSP because I don't deal with those.

I never had that error caused by arms. My bad. :C
