Hi all,

Im in the process of creating a prop but i need to know if its possible to somehow create double sided ploygons in poser,if not i will have to re make part of the prop using two polys just facing the opposite way but with a very small offset apart?

Cheers

I think you can do it the free version of UVmapper.

I'm not saying the above is wrong, but if it is correct, that's news to me. I would like someone to tell be how to do it in the free UV Mapper.

Poser can't create double sided ploygons. There is a free utility "Objaction TwoFace" that can make an obj two sided. It works on the whole obj though, so if you only want part of it two sided, that part would need to be a separate group so you could split it off from the object, make it two sided, then recombine it with the object. You should be able to find Objaction TwoFace here at Rosity in the Free Stuff.

P.S.

If you do use double sided polygons, Poser's FireFly render engine has problems displaying double sided polygons correctly. You need to set up a small amount of displacement for the material in the material room before the surface will render correctly.

My bad It's UVmapper pro. Sorry I should of checked 1st.

Why do you need double sided polygons?

I believe someone posted on how to apply materials to both sides of a poser object. Maybe its in tutorials ?

thanks for the link bantha that will come in handy for a future project i have in mind :-)

ive decided to stick with the method i put at top of post as its a lot of hassle to do the rest,i just thought thered be a checkbox somewhere i had to tick or somethin lol

I do most of my modelling in cinema 4d which allows you to see both sides of a poly which is trans mapped  which is what i was after.
