I have got a mesh but when i render it, it can be rendered from one side, but when i try to render it from the other side, nothing is being rendered...
Why can that be - i think the answer is easy, but i'm new in this...

ThanX.

Do you have any light shining on the side you are trying to render?

Hi in lightwave you need to check "double sided" on the polygons they too are transparent when u look from the inside out (saves processing time) i've used max a few years ago but i never needed to see anything double sided, try searching in the manual or in the online help for double sided polys etc it will be there

ThanX but i think there is no option to click...

[Black_phoenix]

the option in lightwave is in the surfaces menu, i cant believe max does nt have it, u just need to find it, i bet its there somewhere
