Problem with Milkshape/align normals
I'm working on this hair
and I'm pretty much done assigning the bones, extra data, etc. but when it comes to making the other LODs, I'm stuck. I know how to use the Directx mesh tool and everything, but whenever I click "Align Normals" on the new model, this happens
(yuck)
I'm not sure what's wrong...I'm pretty sure I installed the plugin correctly, and I have auto smooth turned off. It doesn't make much of a difference when I apply texture either:
I'm pretty new to hair/conversions/meshing in general, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can and I don't plan on giving up, so please don't brush me off if this is some simple beginner's error.
I also have Autodesk 3ds Max 2014, so if there's a better way to make LODs that can preserve more detail, I'd love to hear about that too. haha
