jit.gl.mesh help file weirdness...
Feb 18 2011 | 1:34 pm
Hello I am checking out Open GL objects and am having an issue with the help file for the jit.gl.mesh object. When checking toggle switches for the auto_normals $1, auto_tangents $1, auto_bitangents $1, auto_colors $1 messages and the prepend color_mode drop down menu I get red errors in the Max window along the lines of "failed to auto generate tangents!" "source data does not exist: " " failed to generate auto colors!" and so forth.
I restared Max and get the same thing. I'm running the latest version of Max/MSP on a very new iMac.
It is likely that I am missing something here. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
