MMMmmmm..... ok, filing this bit of info away in my noggin for a day when understanding will dawn....

makes sense on leaves.... and, in a way, cubes & spheres, as arent they technically one-sided?

and this thing worked just fine til i pushed both ends of the function editor line thingy to the top in the variable transparency area.  (see first image versus second).... if vue wasn't crunching numbers so hard (now up to 217 hours to go... yeesh), i'd load up photoshop, reduce what i did yesterday for web so the forums'd let me post it, and show you how i pushed the strange effect even further....

even mistakes are wonderful learning experiences =D

and how do you map a material on only one side of something?  or the opposite?  i thought you really had no choice, it was up to whoever designed the object if it had more than one "side" to the geometry?

see.... you got me brain thinkin about somethin and its not gonna let it drop til its either figured out, or my brain shorts out....  =D

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
