Hi everyone!

When I use ent_create for my models I get for some reason these huge planes. They are placed slightly over zero Z.

The level is not big (everything you see is just testing stuff) and I made a screenshot from outside, so you see the plane is really big.


I replaced every model (the player is made of multiple models) with guard.mdl and the plane disappeared. So it seems to be something with the model. But what? (I use Bone-Animation.)
They are (as well as the level) made in Blender and where exported and imported using FBX.

Thanks!

I think you mean the shadow errors? Then that's caused by stencil shadows, you need to use a closed mesh model to get shadows working properly

I don't really have an answer for you - just an observation:
that "plane" appears to have the same texture as the character's hair.
- only scaled up really big
Try creating everything but the hair or head model and see what happens.

I already did. when I disable the hair it takes whatever comes next. Chest, trousers, sword, boots... When only the body itself remains it has a similar effect, but much higher up und more like an even bigger cone.

edit:// @painkiller: no, I don't mean the shadows. But you're right, disabling them makes sense.

Any chance of posting a link to the model itself? The actual one you are using.

It mau be something screwy in the mesh, or the skins.

Do you mean 'imported in MED and then saved as an mdl file?
Did you test the animations in MED?

I actually did the whole animation in MED and just imported the mesh and skin. (But I want to do everything in Blender for the final models.)

But you can get the models.

edit:// I did the animation in MED, not WED.

Ive looked at you models, and I suggest try it without the armor model running.

The other models look OK to my un-trained eye,
but the armor is still open-mesh and may be causing shadow-defects.

So I closed the mesh (hair was open, too) and it gave a nice solution to the shadows. Sadly the huge orange-yellow coloured plane is still there.

When I do it the spartan way and wear nothing but the sword:

So the planes always resemble a model (not the skin, as the sword has no skin). Why?!

Just a thought, but have you tried creating a defaultcube?
Just for testing. If this is messed up, something is really wrong.
