.3ds is working i imported .3ds into ppmodeler from Animation master , but how do i see the top lip of my vase ? its there , but sometimes invisible when i rotate the model.

do i need to flip the normals? if so how ? Smile

Sometimes, the 3DS file mixe the face order (the normal is flipped from one face to its neihhbourhood faces).
The best way to fix that is to use the fix normals tool, in the edit menu (select the mesh first. Then, It may be necessary to swith all the face (invert faces in the edit menu).

Tell me if it works...
