Disappearing problem

Post by JabbaLovesLava »

I did (well not m, but someone else) this tent thing on XSI which is a plane and a few sticks, but there is a problem. The tent is skinned and almost fully working, except that when you look at it from under it disappears.

Any reason for this?

You need to flag the polygons of the plane as transparency type 2, which will cause them to render backfaces.
