Striped Sphere - hide backfaces I created a sphere and colored its faces in several horizontal stripes like

blue, transparent, blue, transparent... etc

Pretty much when in Object mode &amp; Viewport shading set to Material the backfaces of those circular stripes do not show which is exactly what I'd like to get in the rendered transparent png, but in the rendered png the backfaces show up.

How to get rid of backface colors?

Expected: Backface culling



Current Result
As far as I know you will probably have to use Node materials for this, I don't think there is any backface-culling options in Blender Internal Render by default, only through node materials.

Active node materials for your Blue Material, add the Blue Material to the default Material node from the dropdown menu.

Now add a new Input > Geometry node and use the Front/Back socket to control the transparency of the material by connecting it to the Alpha socket of the Output node
