Hi, is there an easy way to make a hollow object solid?
I have some poser imported objects that are hollow.
I would like to test to see if vectors are inside the object, but its not
working and I believe that its because the object is hollow.
Unfortunately I cant work out how to make the object a solid....
Cheers Dre

If the mesh is closed and the "inside_vector" is specified, POV treats
it as a solid unless the "hollow" keyword is explicitly provided.
http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Reference_Section_4.2#Solid_Mesh
I would assume that the problem lies in 'inside_vector' not being defined.

Poser models are mesh. Normaly, they are only a surface with no
thickness, but that can be changed.
You need to provide an inside_vector to your mesh object. It will work
even if the mesh is not perfectly closed, but, in that case, you can get
some eroneous results.
Syntax: inside_vector Direction
Some samples:
inside_vector y
inside_vector 1
inside_vector<1, 0.01, 0.5>

Hi, yes you are right, there is no inside_vector specified.
Looks like I need to read up on UV stuff as I've never played with it
before!
Thanks for the help!
Cheers Dre

Yep thats exactly my problem. Thanks for the headups, I'm going to read up
on UV mapping now...
