Backface Cull

Pandamonio

Hi Polycount, I have a doubt about 3d Studio Max. I installed months ago the 2014 version and I notice that I can't see the normals faces flipped like I usually see them on the 2013 version. The faces were black not transparent and that don't help to detect problems with the normals. I have already turned on the Backface Cull.

I would like to know if there is some way to get that functionality back.

Backface Cull has always made the backside invisible.

Thanks gsokol, but my objective is to have the possibility to see the backside of the surface black.

That's not backface cull. Culling (originally a farm animal term) is about removing a large portion of something. In this case, all the backfaces.

What you want is either a doublesided material (without backface cull) with one side set to material and one to black or hot pink; something recognizable, or (also without backface cull) flipped normals.
