Academic Phoenix Covers Working With aiTwoSided to Create Two-Sided Materials in Arnold Render.

Two-sided materials often are used when you need to have different materials for both sides of a flat object. Usually used when creating things like printed paper or money, double-sided shaders can also be helpful for things like leaves and special effects. Arnold Render recently included a new node that handles this type of shading, the aiTwoSided Node.

Academic Phoenix Plus, Founder Monica, shares some insights into how the node works, showing how to set up a simple double-sided piece of paper. Monica makes the scene file available for download so that you can follow along. Visit Academic Phoenix Plus here.
