Hi All,
Say I have a flat surface, a simple polygon plane for example. Can I assign one material to one side, and a second material to the other side? Turning on “double sided” isn’t quite what I’m after as that assigns a single material to both sides of the surface. Thanks 
I’m pretty sure that’s impossible. You’ll have to create two polygons, one for each side, in order to assign different materials.
I thought it might be, I figure a work around is to have 2 copies of the mesh, but flip the normals on the second mesh copy.
Two different materials is not possible but you can apply two different textures on each face with TwoSidedTexturing node.
Ah thanks Jacky, that might solve my issue
Maybe 2 polygons with two material elements. There should be a tutorial available on how to set up an fbx to import in a manner that allows you to assign 2 unique materials to one static mesh.
Actually you can apply a separate texture or a separate material to the two sides of the same polygon with this technique:
Fantastic, thank you!
That’s how I would do it, although I would use the TwoSidedSign node as the alpha instead.
Will save a couple of instructions and simplify your node network.
