Hi All,
I have somewhat of a problem creating custom shapes. Now, I define my vertices (not using any normals and a solid black colour) and then create a shape consisting of 3 triangles. As I move my camera, parts of the shape become invisible, while other parts become visible. So, for example at first 2 of the triangles are visible. Then when I move up (y axis ++ ), the 2 triangles that were just visible become invisible and the third triangle becomes visible. I’m sure this is a very simple misunderstanding on my behalf; sorry if this question sounds ridiculous 
e.g.
[java]vertices.add(vector0); // 0
vertices.add(vector1); // 1
vertices.add(vector2); // 2
…
int[] indices = {0, 5, 1, 0, 3, 1, 1, 2, 3 };
…
Vector3f[] verticesArray = new Vector3f[100];
verticesArray = vertices.toArray(verticesArray);
hull.setBuffer(Type.Position, 3, BufferUtils.createFloatBuffer(verticesArray));
hull.setBuffer(Type.Index, 1, indices);
}; [/java]
I guess you already had a look at the mesh tutorial thread? http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/groups/contribution-depot-jme3/forum/topic/hellomesh-tutorial-jme3/
I think some similar problems surfaced there lately.

Yup, I did. And yup, I have already been calling updateBound() …twice even:
[java]
hull.updateBound();
hull.updateCounts();
Material material = new Material(assetManager, “Common/MatDefs/Misc/SolidColor.j3md”);
material.setColor(“m_Color”, ColorRGBA.Black);
hullGeometry = new Geometry(“Vessel Hull”, hull);
hullGeometry.setMaterial(material);
hullGeometry.updateModelBound();
hull.updateBound();
hull.updateCounts();[/java]
Bump?
