fR-2Sided 

The fR-2Sided wrapper material is a faster alternative to the translucency shader of 3ds Max. It is fast because it works with single-sided faces and simulates efficient pseudo-translucency effects.

It is flexible and versatile because it is a wrapper material able to enclose any existing material.

 

Translucency = 0	Translucency = 100

In the illustration above, note the nice back-light, shine-through effect on the image with translucency set to 100.
