I've been playing around with Poser's "Cartoon With Line" display mode, which I like a lot, but I have a few questions for you Poser wizards out there: 1. Is there ANY way to get textures (like eyes) to appear in this mode? 2. In all of the quick and dirty display modes like "cartoon with line," only one side (the outside) of an article of clothing renders - but the inside doesn't. This is a problem if you have a long coat hanging down below a character's knees. We can see the outside of the coat, but the INSIDE lining, seen between the character's legs or seen when the character turns, is invisible (see picture). Is there any way to fix this in this display mode? Thanks in advance for your help.

Just so that you know, here's what the back of the coat really looks like...

And here's what happens when the characters is viewed from the side. See how the inside lining of the coat isn't visible anymore? Is there any way to make it visible in this display mode?

Looks like the normals are facing out only. Can you see the inside of the coat in a reguLar render? There is a program that will make the normals face both ways. "Objaction TwoFace" and I think its in the free stuff.

Yes the answer is to make the OBJ double sided. However I tried this using Maz's free utility and that produced weird results. I tried again using 3DExplorer and that was less than satisfactory. I then tried using an option found in the soon to be released Pro version of a UV mapping utility, (the name of which you will understand I can not mention at this time). That worked a charm :) So if you are also not successful with the utilities you find then please by all means email me and I'll run it through mine. A simple solution? No just elementary :) [![philc_agatha_white_on_black.jpg](http://www.philc.net/images/logos/philc_agatha_white_on_black.jpg)](http://www.philc.net)

you can get the texture to show for the eyes only, by clicking the eyes and choosing "element display style" (click on the little arrow to the left of "document display style", it's a pull down menu) then choose texture shaded. this doesn't work very well with mike & vic.
