  I can only think of two explanations here:

  1. Your program is not exporting all the triangles for some reason, or is
exporting them badly.
  2. Half of the triangles are shadowed in your scene and thus they are
(almost) black, as I suppose is your background? Try putting more light sources
to different sides of the scene to see if it helps.
