I\'m not big on modeling, but from what I\'ve read, is it possible you have the wrong faces pointing outward?

Arrr!

You need to give it a material.

@CaptSkunky: I tried that - what it gives is not a black poly but a nifty way to do fake transparency (backdrop-style - anything inside the model, provided it\'s visible, will be indeed visible.

@Payload: it used to be a necessity, but if I recall it was removed somewhere between .11 and .13.

WerTehMoon, have you made sure you UVW unwrapped your part correctly? That\'s the first thing that strikes me.

Not really, something did change and the loader can sometimes \'figure it out\' but I still had parts failing due to no materials in 0.13.

So its a sometimes thing.
