Material two sided option bug

Hi! I noticed a bug while making materials. Whenever I enable the two sided option, faces of the mesh would start glitching out. For example, in a cube, while looking on top, you would see the side faces before the top one. (The only thing I changed in the pictures are the two sided option)

At first I thought it was a bug in the mesh I did, a human mistake. But I realized that it occurred even on the default cube, sphere and cylindre of the material viewport.

I ended up creating a whole new material in case it was my material that was causing the problem, you know, a human mistake. But even with only a linear gradient in the emissive color it was still bugging.

If anyone had a similar issue and can help it would be appreciated.

At this point I don’t know if it’s my version who has errors or it is a legitimate error in UE4.13

Sadly, this is rather normal behavior for translucency and two sided because sorting translucency is quite an issue for differed rendering.

The Alpha Composite blending mode might be a bit better resultwise, but sadly not much one can do about this.
So its not an error in your version of ue4, nor an error in ue4… its just a limitation with translucency and two sided.

Alternatively you could try masked and a dither node, but thats a totally different result.

If someone has a way to solve this, I would love to know myself… but from all my time on answerhub, asking about it, and googling about it… I never found a satisfying answer besides the gained knowledge I told you in these first few sentences.

I guess the only occasionally viable solution for translucency sorting order issues is use of custom depth.

Thank you very much I’ll be sure to check out these options.

By the way, now that I have the chance, I’d like to thank you a lot. I just started learning special effects on my own and your youtube channel is helping me a lot. Keep up the good work!

I want to be able to get past this issue too. Two sided translucency is the bread and butter of what I wanna do.
