force 2-sided problem

[fabrizio]

Hi,
I have a big trouble.
I have modelled in rhino and then i have exported in dwg into max.
When I render I see some surface black. So I check on force 2-sided in "Render scene". In this way I can see all the surface but this works fine only if I use standard material, not if I use vray material. What can I do?



Thanx

fabrizio

hi
import from Rhino as IGES.. then once in max convert to editable mesh

[RErender]

The problem is errors in the imported mesh, apply a "stl check" modifier and you will see what they are. The most elequent solution is Power Translator from http://www.npowersoftware.com/trans/trans.html.


Here are some posts where it is discussed:

A search for "rhino" will produce some other solutions as well.

this might be simular. i just recieved my kohler CD collection. and the models are really hacked up and horrible. anyone else have this collection and knows how to get the models to import correctly?
