2 side rendering?

[Rick]

I purchased some tree's from Dexsoft and when I import them into UU3D and export to gmf I notice some of the leaf planes only have the texture on 1 side. I sent an email to Dexsoft about this and he stated:

 

you have to turn on 2 side rendering, we made them that way.

What does this mean? I've never heard anyone here at LE talk about 2 side rendering. Is this a feature we can "turn on" in LE? Is it something I can do in UU3D before I export it? These trees look like garbage without this.

To renderize faster enigne normally use Back-Face-Culling, it mean that only 1 side of a face is rendered, this is always true on Leadwerks (and in almost any other engines and 3d tool), you can disable it as Lumorja told. Do it with care as this will slow down the rendering of that meshes. Of course there is no other way to renderize that leaf so this is ok for it.

You can find more infos here.

If set to 0 surfaces will appear two-sided. The default setting is 1.

 

I see, I do this in the shader. My trees thank you!
