I have a problem. Have two different Plant Models (Palms) from two different downloads. One from Loopix and one from Dexsoft. The Palm Sprites from Loopix is visible from both side, but the Sprites from Dexsoft (import with 3ds) don`t show from the back. How i can change this?

HI!

I'm not familiar with the programs that you are refering to but
the back part made me think about decal.(back is invisible)

Look up decal in the manual that may help.

Ottawa.

find the material on the wki to allow a model to show both sides textured instead of one side.
cull mode = 0; or something like that is what your after in the script.
Something like this but I havnt uised it in a couple of years...

(cant find code button)
function mtl_dummy_init
{
vec_set(mtl.emissive_blue,mat_model.emissive_blue);
vec_set(mtl.ambient_blue,mat_model.ambient_blue);
vec_set(mtl.diffuse_blue,mat_model.diffuse_blue);
vec_set(mtl.specular_blue,mat_model.specular_blue);
mtl.power=mat_model.power;
mtl.albedo=mat_model.albedo;
mtl.skill1=pixel_for_vec(vector(128,0,0),0,8888); // the first value in the vector is the threshold
}

material mtl_dummy
{
event=mtl_dummy_init;
effect=
"
texture entSkin1;
dword mtlSkill1;

technique vegetation
{
pass p0
{
Texture[0]=<entSkin1>;
ZWriteEnable=True;
AlphaBlendEnable=False;
AlphaTestEnable=True;
AlphaRef=<mtlSkill1>;
AlphaFunc=Greater;
CullMode=None; // CCW when sigle sided polys, or None when double sided polys

ColorArg1[0]=Texture;
ColorOp[0]=Modulate2X;
ColorArg2[0]=Diffuse;
}
}
technique fallback{pass p0{}}
";
}

action alphafix
{

my.transparent=off;
my.flare=off;
my.material=mtl_dummy;
while(you != null)
{
my.polygon = on;
}
wait(1);
}

KiwiBoy, just write

To the topic: is there way witout shaders? Looking like they are too slow on GS, so i dont want to use them too many.

Thanks for the reply. It should have a way without shader / code, the Vegetation - Sprites from Loopix works, without action in SED.

Thanks VeT.....
It will work withhout shaders if you manufactured your alphas seperate from the model then ent_attach em, no shaders needed but the workflow then becomes horrendous, lots of work, hence shaders
But you wont get 2 sided views from a single poly sided object without the shaders unles its a sprite I think, not sure as I havnt discovered it yet but it doesnt mean that it doesnt exist if you know what I mean.
