Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Texturing the backfaces of plane shapes
I am new to Maya and I've found this forum to be very helpful. I hope someone can help me solve my problem.
I'm animating a page turning in a book and the texture is showing up backwards on the backfaces of the shape (see attached). How can I map a texture to wrap around the front and back of a plane?
Thank you.

Think this tutorial might help you, it uses double sided shaders, and a video's much better than a description

Your scene's lookin' really good so far. Haven't checked out the link gster123 provided, but there's more info in a PDF file, double_sided_material.pdf by Aniquito.
There's also a tute on using some rigging to make the pages curl as they're turned (like they would when turned from one corner), it''s here.

You make the learning of such a difficult application much easier.
