thanks
To allow very rough surfaces like sand paper or clay. Just try it out with the material preview scene. It should become immediately clear what the parameter does.

No, it won't be in the 2.1x development cycle, which will hopefully be finished very soon. Version 2.20 will be released shortly afterwards and will contain the new render layer system.

I have been waiting for two sided materials, this is fantastic! You guys have been knocking it out of the park!
I do however, have a Highly recommended requests that I feel should have been addressed a long time ago that can cause critical pipeline problems.
The issue I have is not being able to specify the color of your material and object ID's. I work strictly from a plugin side, C4D. So these issues may be different in standalone? The problem here is that when a material gets created or added the colors change based on the how they are added. For example in cinema if I put a material ahead of another the order of creation changes thus changing the colors of the material ID. In a large comp, after effects, that requires a lot of layering and post work, if the Mat-ID changes colors all of the comps that use the ID's are now broken. The frustration does not start there it's when you get a yellow and a green-yellow and a green as your Mat-ID. This color scheme is incredibly hard to key out correctly.
I ask that we have the ability in the material to choose the color that shows up in the Mat-ID pass and same for the obj-ID's
Same here.
I know the layering system is new, but I would like to be able to have red, green and blue material and objects ID's. And then every 3 ID's the red, green and blue gets repeated. Makes for perfects keying.
