I have an object with a mesh that uses a semi-transparent png texture.

Is there a flag or option for the MeshBasicMaterial so that the back of the object is visible through the front?

Here is some sample code:

var texture = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('world.png');



// create the sphere's material

var sphereMaterial = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({

    map: texture,

    transparent: true,

    blending: THREE.AdditiveAlpha

});



sphereMaterial.depthTest = false;



// set up the sphere vars

var radius = 50, segments = 20, rings = 20;



// create a new mesh with sphere geometry -

var sphere = new THREE.SceneUtils.createMultiMaterialObject(

    new THREE.SphereGeometry(radius, segments, rings),[

    sphereMaterial,

    new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({

        color: 0xa7f1ff,

        opacity: 0.6,

        wireframe: true

        })

   ]);

This will accurately render the sphere but the back remains invisible.
