Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Robot Volume 1 - Harness video 15

Hello Everyone,

I have grouped and 4 components of the harness and 'Duplicated Special'. All works perfectly however the copied objects are coloured BLACK.

Can anyone tell me why this has happened and how may I change it?

FYI - I tried reversing the duplicated objectives + applying a new material. Nothing worked.

Thanks

the normal's need reversing

Select the offending object or specific faces.

go to the modeling menu and under Mesh Display choose Reverse

Cheers Myth

Thanks Myth,

I think my Maya 2015 is playing games on me. I tired all options, including your suggestion. Not working.

I ended up going the long way, mirrored the harness, separated the objects from parent then manually moved the components into place.

Thanks again for your suggestion, I'm sure that will work for someone else.
