How can I render only the inside of a sphere?

    The desired effect I want for my game is to be able to see a sphere with a texture inside of it, and only
    see the inside of the sphere (So the part facing toward the camera is not visible, but the inside is). I have
    gotten this effect from blender by importing, but it wasn't intended. How could I do this? (It can be using Unity, or if you know blender a way to do it in that would be appreciated as well). Thank you

    Flip the direction of the face normals in blender, so they point inside.

    Sorry but I encountered a problem... How can I get the texture inside the sphere to look good? Is it the same as texturing the outside?

    I'd just UV-unwrap the inner faces then. Should be similar to unwrapping an outside sphere.
