Hit 'o'... 'oh' not 'zero'...

excellent... cheers. Is there also a way to show all objects double sided or does that have to be flagged for each individual object? Cheers

[Viper]

Assing the same material to all objects and mark double-sided on the material properties :)

[anim8ruk]

Thanks.... i'm sure i'll be back to ask more questions... Cheers for your help.

If anyone else reads this and knows of any tutorials for complete beginners (how to create a box sort of level) just so i know how to get around the interface, it'd be much appreciated.... cheers

www.scifi-meshes.com has a few. They are directed to scifi, but the principles are all the same. :)

Maybe consider having a look at this DVD?

There is also a checkbox in the general render dialogue for "force 2 sided".

All you'll ever want to know about two-sided polygons / backface culling, and more! ;)

Not to be a bastard, but you might want to get into the habit of searching for your answers first before asking here. Alot of what you asked has been aswered before here.
Oh, and please read the "Read me first" topics first. :)

Good luck with learning 3ds max!
