How do I texture both sides of a polygon differently?

[CIM]

Double-sided shader.

a double sided shader will render the same texture on both sides of the polygon. it is a fake to basically make the face render regardless of the normal direction.

since poly's are infinitely thin, you will need to either build a second face with a reversed normal, or build some thickness to your object, and texture them separately.

Here! (http://caad.arch.ethz.ch/info/maya/manual/UserGuide/Rendering/RenderingTask/Look_Surfaces.fm4.html#998041)

This material setup doesn't work properly in the viewport, but does render two-sided correctly. For working with the second texture in the viewport switch the operation of the condition node from equal to not equal. That will toggle which texture is visible.

Well, I stand corrected :eek:
