Mesh is getting mirrored
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Mesh is getting mirrored
| ||
| I create a mesh in Blender and export it to .x format. When it's loaded into Blitz, the mesh is mirrored across the ZY plane (-x becomes +x and vice versa). Has anyone else encountered this? Is Blitz loading them incorrectly? Is Blender exporting incorrectly? |

| If no one else out there uses Blender to do your modelling, perhaps you could just tell me if you've ever seen these results in whatever modelling program you have been using. |

Add this line at the start of your prog:LoaderMatrix "x",-1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1 |

| Thanks GfK. However, I wonder how much overhead is involved in that operation? Would it be better to mirror my mesh in my modelling program before exporting? I am talking about a huge mesh (around 30,000 polys). |
| ||
| Dunno. Depends how many times you have to load the model I suppose. Do some tests. I can't see LoaderMatrix taking a vast amount of time, tbh. |

Well I tried it with and without LoaderMatrix and it had zero effect on the loading time.starttime = MilliSecs()
terrain = LoadMesh("track1.x")
Endtime = MilliSecs()1759 milliseconds without LoaderMatrix and 1754 with LoaderMatrix Thanks GfK. Looks like that will do the job nicely. |

| Just for reference, I get this problem too, going from LWO -> X when using Ultimate Unwrap. In order to fix it, I tick the "Flip handedness" box on the export options. I've yet to figure out if I need to tick it if I load a previously exported X into UU3D and go to save it as X again. |
