Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make my own boat mod (based on minetest boat) and created a model with blender for it. Sadly it doesn't show the textures completely:

It shows only the texture from outside, but not inside.

My Code:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: local boat = { physical = true, collisionbox = {-0.5, -0.35, -0.5, 0.5, 0.3, 0.5}, visual = "mesh", mesh = "simple.obj", textures = {"simply.png"}, visual_size = {x=10, y=10}, driver = nil, v = 0, last_v = 0, removed = false, seats = { [1] = { pos=nil, player=nil, }, [2] = { pos=nil, player=nil, }, [3] = { pos=nil, player=nil, }, [4] = { pos=nil, player=nil, }, } }

Did you get an idea? Thank's a lot! :)

cheers

It could be two things, either your walls are just a single face, which is probably the case, the face normal points outward which is why from the outside the texture is visible from the inside minetest doesn't draw anything, a simple way to check would be to flip the normal on your model and see if it is visible from the inside or the outside. If that ends up being the case you just need to create an inner wall, which can probably be accomplished by duplicating the mesh, flipping the normals, and scaling it down a teeny bit, so the faces don't exist in the same space which will result in flickering.

The other thing could be a problem with backface culling, which I don't know how to fix, as I seem to recall it being discussed on Github as a problem with the engine right now, though I believe RBA was working on a fix for it.

Thank you really much!
My model got only 1 face and I didn't thought about, that minetest (as a voxel world) needs 3 dimensions instead of 2 ^^.

Now I got another problem, but that will be the matter of another thread.
