Question by gijsbeijer · Oct 07, 2016 at 10:03 PM · meshproceduralflipped normals

Procedual created mesh flipped (using clockwise ordered vertices(

Hi All,

Just starting out with procedual meshes. And seem to have bumped into a common problem but couldn't find the answer somewere else on the forum (or just suck at searching :p).

The answer that solves most peoples problem is that the vertices of triangles should be ordered clockwise. I'm doing this, but it still appears with 'flipped' normals. Hope someone can help a newbie out.

The code:

 private void CreateRoomMesh()
         {
             MeshRenderer mr = gameObject.AddComponent<MeshRenderer>() as MeshRenderer;
             MeshFilter mf = gameObject.AddComponent<MeshFilter>() as MeshFilter;
     
             Vector3[] newVertices = new Vector3[] {
                 new Vector3(-1, 0, -1),
                 new Vector3(1, 0, -1),
                 new Vector3(1, 0, 1),
                 new Vector3(-1, 0, 1),
                 new Vector3(0, 2, 0)
             };
             //Vector2[] newUV;
             int[] newTriangles = new int[] {
                 3,4,2,
                 0,4,3,
                 1,4,0,
                 2,4,1,
                 0,1,2,
                 2,3,0,
     
             };
     
             Mesh mesh = new Mesh();
             mesh.vertices = newVertices;
             mesh.triangles = newTriangles;
     
             mf.mesh = mesh;
         }
 

Also tried RecalculateNormals, Recalculate Bounds and Optimize but they didn't work for me.

Thank you guys!
