Rotation strangeness...

Using indigo 1.0.8 and Blendigo 108.. on an early WIP, I have one mesh that appears to rotate in indigo? Visible on the right hand side of the image some greenery hanging out!

The mesh is instanced in a few places in the image, first time I've seen this happen, any ideas folks?

Have you tried "Apply Scale and Rotation" (Ctrl+A) on that object?

As a general rule, it's a good idea to do that for the entire scene before export.

It looks like you're using a different cam width....
though, first try, what Cire said and also check your normals, while you're doing so

I think, I can see problems with them on those two objects, hovering above the brick-square on the left.... Try to use the edgesplit modifier and to recalc your normals

ctrl-A gives an error message, 'can't apply on multi user meshes'?

ah, don't select instances, while doing that

*only* the original objects should need it....
oh, and the instances shouldn't be deformed. Just rotated and/or scaled uniformly in all three space-directions

Instance are only rotated / moved, I just need to remember which one was the first

Ctrl-A sorted it thanks Kram, been using Blender a year and there still is so much to find out!
