Request_paint reverse

xrok1

is there or will someone make a ruby to paint the backside of faces with same material as there is on the front ,or vice versa?

the reason i ask is because some of the components on 3Dwarehouse are made with the backfaces out and painted (can't render). it would be a real pain to repaint all the faces after reversing so i figured someone may write a ruby to do this.

has anyone else had this problem?

its strange because these are nice models and you would think that someone who is obviously good with SU would know about the back face issue??????

I think this already exists. Perhaps called something like paint_back_faces.rb or some such name. Check the Library Depot.

Maybe you want to try FFlipper - http://errorinitus.de > Downloads - at the moment, it explodes components No time to fix

Does the following:

front (white): no material
back (blue): material X
=>
front (white): material X
back (blue): no material

My 'Fix Reverse Face Materials' flips faces and back-material to the front-material etc [keeping texture UV mapping]... it depends what you are doing - there are several sub-options...
Monochrome Mode with a distinctive back-color in the Style shows the extent of the problem...
