RE: Bad normal errors

Blender 2.59 usually tends to export the already existed model without name. I mean, when you open it in Model Editor, editor says it has no name, so cannot bind it to shapes. I corrected this issue by manually adding models's name (like pCube01)

RE: Bad normal errors

that's because it was made with a different blender version or even another collada plugin. That's my explanation at least...

RE: Bad normal errors

Nope, that's not the problem. For converting new models with textures from scratch, I use collaboration of 2.49b and 2.59
Try to see it in model editor if it has a name.

RE: Bad normal errors

Thread revival :>

I think it's due to having a "negative distance" on some vertices.
Bad drawing (I have parkinsons while drawing):

The picture to the left has a positive distance on the green line, while the right has a negative distance on the purple line. This is just my guess :>

I do know however that it causes the .dae to not save a .msh file - which in turn increases loading time on the objects a lot.
