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

The following example shows how to apply a xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.Material to the front and back of a 3D object and animate the object to show both sides of the object. The xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.GeometryModel3D.Material%2A property of a xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.GeometryModel3D is used to apply a red xref:System.Windows.Media.Brush to the front side of the object and the xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.GeometryModel3D.BackMaterial%2A property of the xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.GeometryModel3D is used to apply a blue xref:System.Windows.Media.Brush to the back side of the object. The code below shows the application of the materials to the object:
