How to: Apply Material to the Front and Back of a 3-D Object

The following example shows how to apply a Material to the front and back of a 3-D object and animate the object to show both sides of the object. The Material property of a GeometryModel3D is used to apply a red Brush to the front side of the object and the BackMaterial property of the GeometryModel3D is used to apply a blue Brush to the back side of the object. The code below shows the application of the materials to the object:

<!-- This material is applied to the front of the 3D object (red side).-->
<GeometryModel3D.Material>
  <MaterialGroup>
    <DiffuseMaterial>
      <DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
        <SolidColorBrush Color="Red"/>
      </DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
    </DiffuseMaterial>
  </MaterialGroup>
</GeometryModel3D.Material>

<!-- This material is applied to the back of the 3D object (blue side).-->
<GeometryModel3D.BackMaterial>
  <MaterialGroup>
    <DiffuseMaterial>
      <DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
        <SolidColorBrush Color="Blue"/>
      </DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
    </DiffuseMaterial>
  </MaterialGroup>
</GeometryModel3D.BackMaterial>
