How do IM\ make avatar textures two sided? - WorldViz User Forum

lklab · #1 11-17-2015, 12:39 PM

I created a 3d animated tree in 3ds max. I exported it fine with Cal3d except for the fact that the branch texture only appears on one side of the planes. If I export it as osgb it looks fine but lacks animation.

I see that there is a cullFace method that can swap which side of the plane has the texture but i can't disable it completely. (why??) likewise the inspector can turn it off but i have no way of saving it.

Any help would be much appreciated!!!
thanks!!

Currently changes made in Inspector can only be saved to OpenSceneGraph formats, but not avatars. To disable backface culling for the leafs, you would need to check the '2-sided' option in 'Shader Basic Parameters' in the object's material. You could also do this through the Vizard code:

Code:

model.disable(viz.CULL_FACE)

Thanks so much Jeff.

The textures appear on both sides now, but looking from below the transparency still has a substantial outline. Any way to remedy this?
