How can I see my polygons 2sided in 3dsmax? I'm using version 6. In the material editor, I've checked "2-sided", but nothing happens. Only can I see both sides when I render (force 2 sided) but never in the viewports.

I've tried searching the forums and it doesn't work for some reason.

    Yep, you now have to turn 'backface cull' on in the objects properties.

    (In earlier versions this happened when you checked on 2-sided automatically... however it was a bit constraining so they 'fixed it')

    Thanks Dave. Is there a polycount IRC channel where n00b questions can be asked?

    I actually have to turn it off (uncheck). Also, having 2-sided or not makes no difference in the viewport when backface cull is unchecked - is it only for rendering?.

    well theres #model_design on irc.freenode.net where a lot of us hang , while it is a channel of mostly game artists, don't expect that to be the topic of conversation 24/7 most the time its just of goofing off . but feel free to stop in
