  11. Subject: Eliminate Black Polys Tip
  12. Sender: owner-lightwave@webcom.webcom.com
  13. Precedence: bulk
  14.  
  15. Don't recall seeing this mentioned anywhere, so here goes:
  16.  
  17. Hunt down flipped or missing polys (from conversions, booleans, etc.) by
  18. starting out with the same technique you would use to create a reference
  19. image for surface mapping...luminous, white object; flat camera view...
  20.  
  21. Load this image as modeler's BG.  Invert the image, autosize to the
  22. offending object and, sure enough, your render's holes line up to the
  23. guilty polys.  Zero in to the blank spots and fix 'em.
  24.  
  25. Obviously you have to muck about with matching modeler and layout views.
  26. But it works for me every time.
  27.
