I just wanted to do a car by scratch, in this case the ford falcon V8 supercar from 2001. but look at what happened... As you see, the tyres sometimes disappear and the colors are strange, some polygons obviously also disappear in part.

Any ideas why this happens?

Switch to polys view and check if every poly is flipped correctly. If not, use one of the 1->2 etc. buttons.

Make sure, that you use proper colors. Remember, that for shading GR uses 2 colors following the one you chose. So if you use blue for windscreen as color #xxx, make sure, that #xxx+1 and #xxx+2 is also the same kind of blue, but lighter.

I'm not sure what you mean...

Tell me, which color number you use for the windscreen and I'll tell you if and why it can be a problem.

Exapmle:

If you choose Color number 66 Generally use colours 66, 67 and 68

No. 2 Thanks for the graphic, this makes it clear, changed the color and now it works. The only problem left now is the sometimes disappearing tyre, what can I do about that?

Thanks too

Probably nothing

Damn How do the others solve this? I never saw this anywhere else

Fiddle around with the Y value in the physics, and move the car up a bit in the Y axis will help to keep polies from vanishing, wheels are an issue with all vehicles (that aren't open-wheelers).
