XSI planar polygons (please move to modeling)

[[JFG]Propaganda]

Ok for the sake of the question, I have 4 points on the same plane, I create a basic polygon (face). The normal faces out, but I want both faces to render. How do I accomplish this? Also is there a setting that will hide non rendered polygons for example I have a complex hollow object and don't want to see any of the faces on the inside?

Ehhh....and this a completed map how?

has this thread been moved to elsewhere? i may be interested about the possible solutions to his issue. I know he started the topic in an unsuitable subforum though.

Opps shit, sorry guys, can someone please move this to the modeling thread.

if you're talking about in engine stuff, then just add the line

"nocull 1" to the vmt of the material that's on the polygon, it'll render both sides.

Well I'm talking about more in XSI. I figured out how cull non normal faces it's in the display performance settings, but I can still only select one side of the polygon.

ah, for that go to file, preferences, tools, selection, and under "raycast selection options" there should be checkbox for it.

I think it might cause more harm than help though. Selecting backfaces you don't want to is annoying.

I´m in a sort of the same trouble myself with a model i´m working on, in this case (and talking about how the model would render in game) what would be better? build inside faces as i did in the screenshot or use that -nocull line for the material? I´m mainly interested in keeping the polycount low and in a less expensive as possible model.

whether i should use the last option. How i can distinguish the cover´s material over the others?
