Backfacing Problem (Possibly)

[McNegro]

I just decided to try modeling just for fun.
I just came up with a simple concept(drew the picture in paint... lol) and tried to work with it.

Right now, my simple model is almost complete. (-skin, -animation)

I have couple of questions:

1. If you see the attachments, help1 file, when the view is in flat shaded, smooth shaded, or textured, couple of triangles only show. (Maybe this has something to do with backfacing? But I have no clue how to fix it.) help2 file is when the model is in wireframe view.

2. Which program do you recommend for skinning? And also, any useful tutorials on it?

3. How do I make the model file into something compatible with WC3 editor?

*I am currently using MilkShape 3D 1.8.4.

Nobody has any solution for this?

well your request is pretty complicated, as for skinning, vertex mod has a skinning feature on it, so does your program maybe... and if thats the case its the better one... there needs to be a 3d skinning program (where u cutncopy each part to the model) atleast one thats free/semi-easy to use

Milkshape does indeed have a feature for applying textures (and it's fairly simple. If my PC that has MS3D on it wasn't down, I'd give you a quick rundown on it). You should be able to figure it out on your own though.

MS3D also has a feature that fixes backfaces for you, but due once again to not having access to MS3D, I don't know where it is.

And last of all, if you want to just model Wc3 models, I recommend [http://www.oinkerwinkle.com]Oinkerwinkle's Modelling Tools[/url], made just for Wc3 modelling

Backfaces are completely black in flat shaded view.
This one lacks faces (triangles)... Take a hard look, these aren't faces, they're gaps and you can fill them up using the face tool.
EDIT: sorry for this kinda late answer, I never saw this thread before.

Thanks! I'm new to modeling so I didn't know but thank you for your insight!

Select your dud faces, and hit Face -> Reverse Vertex Order.
