a question about polygon display in CS
« on: July 07, 2005, 05:58:27 am »
hi?? all
I built a level model in the 3dsmax. In my model, I use a polygons to display a tile, it can see the ceiling from to top, but if the viewer is under the tile, there is no image can be seen. In my opinion, I just want to use a polygon to display the tile, but I\'m not sure that CS can support this, otherwise, I have to build some object to display the tile. Right?

Any help and suggestion will be welcome!

CS supports just one side polygons, so you cannot have a polygon that is visible from the direction where the normal is pointing and the opposite direction. You will see just the first one.

For being able to view something on both sides, you have to duplicate the polygon and invert the normal.
