If a ray went through the hole between the flag and the rest of the piece, my code would invert the flag orientation. Anyway, you can convince yourself that such small holes can catch only a small portion of rays if thay are cast randomly in the 3D space. Thus, my code which starts with a deterministic set of rays finds the correct orientation here. My code cast random rays as the last fallback if it remains unoriented faces. > Leonardo bye jp

(...) My code worked too but my point was to say that the part is not correct, there could be some cases where it won't work and besides that, it won't look good if you render it with a program that has backface culling. How are you going to save (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
