Does anyone know how (if it's even possible) to texture both sides of a matrix? I'm using a ghosted matrix as water, and when I go under the water and look up, I can't see it. I can only see it from the top. I'm using DB Pro.

I've tried that already, and it didn't work. I was sure what to set it to so I tried setting it to 0, 1, and 2. None of them worked. The help file said 0 would work and it didn't. Here's my code:

The Set Matrix flags in DBP are 1 for on and 0 for off. This is the opposite to DBC where 0 is on and 1 is off.

So, your line:



means wireframe, transparency, cull, filter, light, fog and ambient are all off.

What's more, that's the command to change the settings for matrix number 1. The matrix in your code is apparently number 6!

Try:

Yeah that seems to be the problem...I can't believe I didn't see that. Although it still doesn't work when I set the cull to 1. I had to put it on 0, like DBC. Oh well, at least it works now. Thanks.
