Side Node + Emission

I'm trying to get my geo to emit light from both sides of the polygon. Is this possible? or is there a workaround? I've tried with the side node but as soon as you plugin any emission it breaks.

Thanks!
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
unfortunately this is not possible in Octane:

Would a shallow cube rather than a plane serve? Isn't the light emitted according to the normal direction?

Yeah, a shallow cube would work. I was just hoping there was a way to do it without adding more geo.
