double sided shading?
 

Can anybody explain how to go about shading a polygon mesh with two shades (a different shade on each side)?

Look in the help files for double sided

I checked the help files and couldn't find squat. I knew of a way to do this rather easily in Max and unfortunately after messing around with hypershade I couldn't find a way to do this. Not yet anyways. Sorry.

ATM DT have brought the Free tutorials offline... :(

Anyway there is another link to the video if you know the video the sample lesson comes from...

Use that link instead...

Course it has, open the help, go to search and type in double-sided, its the first one in rendering and render set up.

(as I sit here typing whist in a gypsy mo cap suit! LOL)

Apparently the "-" makes ALL the difference. LOL, I'm a dumbass.

How's the mocap suit trating you?

Its a nice bit of kit, can be a tad restrictive for extreme movements compared to an optical system, but it needs less clean up on the raw data, pretty much none sometimes, thats the trade off between mechanical and optical systems.

It was a bit of a fiddle to get it set up on my PC in the first instance, but its going fine now.
