Dear POV-Ray users,

I'm wondering if it is possible to use different textures for front and back
sides of a mesh2 object without modifying the vertex/index data of the mesh2
object. Here the mesh2 is just a surface mesh like cloth.

And is there any simple way to make the surface mesh to have some thickness?

Thanks

use:
object {
   texture {}
   interior_texture {}
}

For thickness, I don't know. Probably depends on what you want precisely.

It works well! Thanks.

For thickness, I just want to render the surface mesh as if having a little
volume.

Thanks.

You can easily place 2 copies, or more, of the mesh with a very slight 
gap between them. As meshes are instanciated, it will only take place in 
memory once.

Do you know Poseray? https://sites.google.com/site/poseray/
You can load the mesh2 into to program, then under the tabs 
Groups/lines, you have the option to "add thickness to free mesh edges".
I think you should investigate this.

Thanks, I know it. However it's not relevant for me. :) I just wondered if it's
possible to render in POVRay script.

Thanks your comments.
