Texturing the inside of a cube

I have some problems with rendering the inside of a cube. I tried to enable the "TwoSide" button in the Texture Face panel, but that doesn't work.

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance. :)

Yeah, you can only texture one side of a face - the two sided button in blender has no effect on uru.

To have two sides textured, you'll need an inside and an outside, in the inside have all the normals (you can use the [flip normals] button in blender) point inwards, on the outside have 'em point outwards.

To apply a different texture to both the inside and the outside, have inside and outside be different objects.

Select the faces, hit "W", and go to "Flip normals". That'll make it so the side that Blender textures is facing inward instead of outward. If you want textures on the outside AND inside, I've just used two cubes, one with the normals facing out and one smaller and inside with the normals facing within.

To check which way the normals are facing, go to edit mode and face select mode and change the little dropdown box that says "Global" to say "Normal". That way, whenever you select a face, the blue line will show you which way the normals are pointing, which is the direction your texture will show.
