View Full Version : testuring two sides of a plane

I'm using max 8 and I would like to texture both sides of a plane. In the material editor, I have "2-sided" checked in the shader basic parameters. When I apply my texture, it still only appears to be one sided. In the view ports, I can't see the bottom of the plane, but when rendering, the bottom appears with the texture on both sides.

I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong (how can I see the both sides of the plane in the viewport with the texture applied)...I've been reading tutorials for the last three or four hours and I just can't find much on the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

sorry, but planes are by definition 1-sided

if u dont want to use force 2 sided or backface cull on ,u have to clone the plane and flip the normal by right clicking. do u have any better ideas?

You could also try the "shell" modifier.

You could use a Double-Sided material.

do game engine supports force two sided or backface cull on model?

if you are using directX drivers for your viewports, then its always single sided, unless someone knows how to change that i never could, apart from switching to openGL

me and my team, we are working in Ogre3D. This is a rendering engine which is shader based. We can define the culling method for each material. I assume this applies to other current engines as well

To change viewport viewing mode from directx to OpenGL is very simple.
Go to customised ->prefrences
...viewport tab
in the bottom one will find Chose driver and configure driver
one can select O.GL in chose driver
then after restarting Max I can configure my driver for Maximum texture size setting etc.
I can see both sided texture in OpenGl driver
but not when using directx 9 driver
when using force two sided or backface cull on.
