Image planes in 3DS Max 7

Want to see an image on both sides of a standard plane but the back side is totally see through. I have mapped the image onto the plane using blinn and specular bitmap. I have unchecked the tiling option from the materials options and also enabled 2 sided on the plane but still no joy. Can anyone help?

Either extrude it so its thicker. Or copy it, flip it 180 degrees so both planes are facing opposite directions and both sides will be solid. If theres a more efficient way to do this I dont know about it.

Thanks for your advice but even when I extrude the plane the back is still see through. This seems to be a rather large problem with this program. Why is a plane with depth see through from the back? It makes no sense. Anyway I created 2 planes both with the image so I have a work around.

i believe you can mirror the image to make it work.Hi there,
Thanks for your advice but even when I extrude the plane the back is still see through. This seems to be a rather large problem with this program. I tried copying teh plane and flipping it 180 which works so all I got to do is fugre out how to rotate the image so that both sides are the same.
copy the material you have for the original one into a new slot, then in the new material look for a tick box that says mirror. there hsould be two one on top of the other, check to see which one works (or both) and it should be fine.

There are two ways to do this.

Thanks for this I've just done it by the extruding measure and Public Liability Insurance worked effectively so just wanted to say that i appreicated the info that you gave
