Procedurally generated mesh acting weird.
I follow a tutorial on how to make a procedurally generated mesh. I managed to get through it but I wanted to texture it by face instead of by vertex so I changed the code to have 6 vertexes instead of one, so adjacent faces could be different shades. Now my mesh looks like this: (nvm, it says error parsing the file when I try to upload) It generates the mesh for me but there's other random bits as well. Like there's a flat plane in the middle and it's also visible from underneath, which it wasn't meant to do before. On top of that I can't get it to render colour per face even with six times the vertices. I'll try to put in the code.
Any advice would be appreciated.
