Yes, it may be better to use Disney material.

Of course, the problem is that we lose translucency by using the Disney material.

Also, what is the technique for including the quotes in your responses?

Probably like this.

You could use generic material transparency. But where you using Glossy material or something like GlossyTranslucent ?

Does the twosided material work with glossytranslucent?

Glossy Translucent is the material I am testing. Mixing two Glossy Translucent materials with the Two Sided node.

Do you have an idea why the faces would switch when mirroring an object?

TwoSided + 2 x GlossyTranslucent = GlossyTranslucent

Both produce the same rendering because the asymmetric nature of GlossyTranslucent material (different behaviors if you are going into the object or getting out of the object) .

The simple solution could be to add a "flip option" to GlossyTranslucent.

I can probably extend the concept and have a "flip option" for all asymmetric Lux materials.

Is there anything ready to test for this?

I haven't yet written the code.
