Notes

  • This material will give best results when assigned to single-sided (open mesh/polysurface) objects like planes, extruded splines, etc. Otherwise it can lead to extremely longer render times.
  • The Two Sided material can be made visible only from one side by having its Front material slot empty and the Back material slot filled in.
