Plane not rendering when I rotate the camera

Anonymous — Fri, 09 Mar 2018 23:56:29 GMT

Hi all,

I'm making a tank on 3Ds Max using planes, but I've got a problem.

Basically when I rotate the camera a little bit the plane is not visible and won't render. I know that is normal if I see it from the other side, but it happens even if I don't rotate completely.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks.

Edit: I see that it only happens on the left and right sides of the tank and on the track-laying. I'm attaching a screenshot.

Hi,

Many info are missing so it's not easy to guess,

One possible reason is that the normals are flipped and, at the same time

Backface Cull is checked in the Object Properties

But this is just a guessing. Other possibilities can exist.

Is there any materials applied to the plane?

Is there lights? And if not, does it make any difference if you add lighting to the scene?

Anyway, if it's not easy to describe all scene settings, you can upload the file,

Try to save it as Max 2017 or older, so i, or others, can check it for you.

Hi, thank you very much for your reply.

I put some lights and now it works!
