Is there a way of doing this?

I have bought some privacy screens of a beautiful forest for my skybox and I find they are transparent on one side. Can I make the picture show on both sides? They are awful to position when you can't see anything on the outside, and there is no one up here to be bothered by seeing them.

Nope.

You can always IM the creator and ask them to apply the texture to both sides of the screen for you.

nope, is a short answer. Yes you can, if the conditions are right. and your not afraid of some scripting, or using scripts. Look at this post, and it might help.

Yes you can!

Try the method I posted earlier for Piggie Paule on this thread:

This may not work if the texture used does not have appropriate permissions set but you can only ascertain that by trying this simple operation.

Don't be put off by the fact that it involves two very short and basic scripts because it's all there for you to cut and paste. You just have to make a small alteration on the second script to achieve what you want to do.

Ephraim Kappler roars laughing: my apologies to Lazink who posted the link already. It looks like a different URL but we have both directed you to the same page.

Many thanks for the help. I'm a bit scared of scripting, so I think I'll try contacting the creator first.

Hit control-alt-t and you will be able to see the transparent side as a red cloudy texture until you hit control-alt-t again.

Thanks so much, everybody. I sent the screen designer a note asking if anything could be done and he very kindly sent me a whole set of doublesided screens. I offered to pay extra, but he wouldn't accept it. How's that for generosity!
