My mesh is black. Flip Normals??

Hi. My mesh that I created is pitch black. Every bit of the mesh is. I think that my “normals” are upside down. But how do I change them? Thanks guys…

In edit mode, press “A” to
select all vertices. Then press CTRL+N to flip normals.

Also, if this does not work, press the Double Sided button in the edit menu (F9).

if you mirrored the mesh, fliping normals wont work.



find:
        -------
VertCOL | make |   &lt;------------------------- button
        -------

hit make then it turns to delete. then hit delete. this should make mirrored mesh change to normal colours.
