This got me pretty excited, so I applied this new solution to the two-sided cloth cape problem I was having in that old thread, to which BB posted the Z-axis solution.  This looks really nice, until something casts a shadow on the backfaces.  Then it has a panic episode or something.  Rats and mice.  Now I hafta file this under "No Dice!  Cartoon characters aren't anatomically correct!"

Yeah, it's tricky. You'd need to make sure the front side has some light on it everywhere, but as bagginsbill discovered, can't use indirect light.

Once again, SuperFly wins. :-P

Yawn. Well at least something is winning, thank heavens for scraps of joy. Lol.

Yeah, it's pretty useless if it doesn't work with IDL honestly. You'd have to dredge the dregs of Poser 4 aesthetic die hards to find Firefly users who don't use IDL. Toon renderers on the other hand. IBL? Does a diffuse flood from IBL effect it. Wonder how your method appears in openGL? Does it appear in openGL?
