How to let mtlFX.c supporting 2-face displaying ,just like 3DMAX.
We can display bothside of the mesh in 3DMAX
But just display one-side in 3DGS!?

effect = "technique x { pass y { CullMode = None; } }";

thank you,Tobias.this code can work!
But if coding like this.It can't use lighting-map and bumping-map for the model anymore.
Is there any idear to do this by coding FX file?


// Blinn / Phong bump mapping
// (c) oP group 2008 Version 2.1

#include <tangent_vs>
#include <phong>

bool REQUIRE_HEIGHT;

texture entSkin1; // texture
texture entSkin2; // normal map or lightmap
texture entSkin3; // normal map on blocks

sampler sBaseTex = sampler_state { Texture = <entSkin1>; MipFilter = Linear; };
sampler sSkin2 = sampler_state { Texture = <entSkin2>; MipFilter = Linear; };
sampler sSkin3 = sampler_state { Texture = <entSkin3>; MipFilter = Linear; };

technique specParallax
{
pass p0
{
ZWriteEnable = True;
AlphaBlendEnable = False;

VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 tangent_VS();
PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 specParallax_PS();
}
}

technique specParallax_lm
{
pass p0
{
ZWriteEnable = True;
AlphaBlendEnable = False;

VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 tangent_VS();

}

You only need to add the CullMode = None; to the pass.

technique specParallax
{
pass p0
{
ZWriteEnable = True;
AlphaBlendEnable = False;
CullMode = None;

...


Rendering will then be slower because more polygons are rendered. Thats why 2 sided polygons are normally not used for game models, only in special cases like vegetation.

Thank you very much!
