Title: Hidden geometry problem
Post by: Andrej (Blue Arc) on April 28, 2010, 08:39:12 AM

Hi there,

we have a problem with scene hidden geometry file. Really don´t know what´s wrong. The scene model was created in 3D studio Max and it is using default render and settings.

There is a screenshot from 3d package (Cinema 4D):

Try rotating the plane around the z axis. Planes are one-sided, so if you're looking at the back side of it, you will not see anything.

Also if I'm not mistaken you could set ignore back facing in WME.
