Lightwave Polygon flipping

[Adam_Spire]

Open it in Milkshape 3D, then export to .3ds or directly to LW. Better successrate that way.

Did that and from Milkshape exported as a Lightwave, object, 3ds and not a bit of good. Infact it left more polys "flipped" and even rotated the model 180 degrees.

I'll try a few more things and get back to you on this.

--quick edit--

I discovered models I place into milkshape have gray and black polys. These black polys are what show up as "flipped" or transparent when I import them into Lightwave. I can't find any rhyme or reason why those polys are affected in that way.

--another quick edit--

I found the milkshape is telling me, its the vertex order is reversed on half the polys. But I dont kow how to address each individual poly yet, but thats the issue. be back after these messages...

--last edit--

In all my attempts, I'm finding Im still having to flip a lot of vertex polys and searching the interwebs, it seems a common problem. You guys ever run into that?
