Messed up scaling a model

Post » Sat Sep 10, 2011 9:32 am

Ok so, I scaled down one of his crystals in NifScope, and when I went in game, it turns out it disappears when watched from most angles. What did I do wrong?

Find the NiTriShapeData for the part you edited. Right click. Mesh -> Update Center/Radius. I haven't screwed with nifskope in a while, but I think that should fix that issue (which btw, always happens when you scale stuff in nifskope, especially along different axis).

P.S. Nice to see you around man, long time no see :D
Not that I'm around much right now anyway...

How is it set up? Meshes disappearing from some angles can happen when the mesh is too small or large, or depending on the bounding box or material.
