I've been trying my hand at creating a 3d model of a Stargate Serpent Guard in Blender - the existing files that I could find didn't appear to be particularly screen accurate. When I finally got to grips with a 3d modelling package again (it's a lot different from Max, and I last used that about 10 years ago!), completed the model and tried importing to Pepakura I seem to be getting a very strange issue - one of the imported objects seems to have the normals flipped compared to the others. Probably better shown with an image:
On the left is the Blender file, on the right is the Pepakura import (from a .obj) - note that the "face" is in dark gray, meaning it's inside out.
I only started learning Blender last week, so no doubt I'm missing something simple, or more likely I've accidentally hit a hotkey and didn't notice, but would anyone have any clues as to why this object would be different than the others? If I flip the normals in blender, then import to pepakura it does import correctly, but that's not particularly useful...
Any help would be much appreciated!
