Seams showing in level

[mychalberry]

Hi all,

in 3dws whenever I create levels by adding extra objects instead of using the csg tools it shows seams where the objects meet. I was wondering how to go about avoinding these seems as it takes a lot longer to create my levels using the csg tools

This looks to me like a bug in the engine you are using, I've never seen that with Leadwerks Engine. You could workaround it by adding caps to the seamy ends.

[mychalberry]

Caps?

[Canardia]

Yes, like seperate brushes which are made up with seamless polygons, like 90 degrees rotated to the base brush.

|::::basebrush::::| <-- caps at both ends

So those objects are things you modeled in another program, and imported into 3DWS?

[mychalberry]

No, its all made in 3dws. When I run the map in DarkBasic Pro the seams appear

[Josh]

Removing the interior faces may help. It's hard to tell what's going on without seeing the actual .3dw file.

[mychalberry]

Would it bo ok to attach a file that big? Be back after work!

[Josh]

I think so, yes

@mychalberry >> I had the same problem. I now manually delete each hidden face before lightmapping or exporting, and seams are not visible now.

Btw remove the hidden faces each time you are creating or substracting a mesh, otherwise if you copy paste a mesh in your level, then you will have to remove a lot of hidden faces ! (for example the benches on your screenshot)

 

 

@Josh >> Can you please answer my email or my post so that i can use the mesh i have modeled in 3DWS with vertex lighting (in Blitz3d)

See this post :

or the 2 emails that i sent you.

 

Thanks
