different textures on both sides of the plane

[LabRat1]

Do you mean 2 textures, one on each side of the plane? Like one side blue and one side red; or are you trying to blend textures?

[d7man2000]

no not blend, just 2 textures on opposite sides

for Maya Software you can use Condition node which will trigger during rendertime(choosing one of your shaders) depending on the normal orientation...
for MR ...mib_two_sided can do that also

wasn't that also one of the examples for those switch-utilities ??? Don't remember wich one of the three it was...probably the single switch, as only one information should alternate...

There r many ways to do it, 1 is the condition utility node, a more easier method is, connect a blend colour to colour, map a sampler info's flipped normal to the blender node and give different colours to colour 1 & 2

there's a free tutorial about this in digital-tutor, look for double sided shader

Single switch lets you switch between single value (scalar) attributes. If it's a color, it probably needs the triple switch, since colors are represented as vectors (3 scalar values). The single, double and triple switch dont indicate the amount of objects/shaders/things you might switch with it, only the type of value (1 scalar, 2 scalars, 3 scalars).

Just for the records though, I doubt it would help with the twosided problem.
