### **Common Use Examples**

### **Example: Front Material**
In this example, the lampshade uses a Two Sided material with only a Front material connected (Generic material). A V-Ray sphere light is used to illuminate the inside. Translucency is shown here with grayscale values (RGB).
> Macro (anchor)

### **Example: Back Material**
In this example, the leaves have both front and back materials connected to the Two Sided Material. Notice how the leaves change when the Translucency value (shown in RGB) is changed. The last render uses a Translucency grayscale map.

## **Override Control**
---
**Can be Overridden** – When enabled, the material can be overridden by the **Material Override** option in the **Render Settings**.
## **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.
