I am using 3DS v3. Sometimes, when working on a mesh, adding a material or modeling, faces on the object I'm working on will be jumbled at random. Is this a glitch or am I causing this by doing something in the wrong order? Thanks, Phil

Hey Philip, I've heard of others who had a similar problem. I would recommend reinstalling 3DS from your original disks. BTW, do you ever get an "INVALID NORMAL ARRAY" error message? If so, Greg Pyros might be able to hook you up with a nice ball cap : ) Good luck, Gino Nearns (DA&M)

Greg, <bg> Actually, it was Bruce McGlasson's idea on the baseball caps for Siggraph, and a great idea it was! :^) I got a kick out of the t-shirts as well. You guys aren't planning to ride a steam boat in N.O. are you? BTW, thanks for the hospitality and tour of your studio, we had a great time. Gino (DA&M)

Gino, Thanks for the info. If you ever come across an official patch for that problem, let me know. And as far as the invalid normal array problem, I AM MR. INVALID NORMAL ARRAY <G>!!!! How's that? Can I have a cap?<G> Thanks again, Phil Ferret 102146,357

How's that? Can I have a cap?<G> I believe the "official patch" to an invalid normal array is to purchase a LEGAL copy of 3DS….. Gino (DA&M)

Gino, Thanks for the advice… I'm a little short this week, can you spot me about $2500? I'll gladly pay you Tuesday….
