How do I rectify the image being seen through from the opposite side in reverse... (when looked at from the front you see both)

I wanted the cloth to be a printed gauze but the text appears on both sides.

I created a box 10M x 6M with a thickness of 0.001M and applied the material (white background black text)

Is it because its a box ? I'm pretty sure ive done it before but for the life of me I can't remember how.......

Thanks

Use a cloth library item not a solid object.

I had created a solid object that was very thin the surface had mapped onto the opposite side too and that was what I was seeing...

Potential update though - could the mapping of materials be applicable to individual surfaces on simple library objects (obviously this might be difficult for curves / globes...)

Thanks

Capture does not support single sided materials at the moment. A workaround, as you have already mentioned, is to apply the material on to a thin object (in order to create the illusion of fabric) and attach this object in front of the object you wish to have the single sided material effect. Anyhow, thank you for your feedback, as we have noted your proposal as a feature request for future versions.
