How to create a Double Sided material

In Rhino UI, it looks like below. How to create such material using RhinoCommon in Rhino 7? I’d like to assign it to mesh and surface.

I’ll see if I can quickly create a simple example script.

I created a short script that does the job. First the visual candy:

The script code can be found at:

github.com

jesterKing/rhipy/blob/master/create_doublesided_rendermaterial.py

import System
import Rhino.Display
import Rhino.Render

import scriptcontext
import random

# get object selection
object_selection = [ob for ob in scriptcontext.doc.Objects if ob.IsSelected(False)]

# only if we have a selection do the work
if object_selection:
    # create material
    render_material = Rhino.Render.RenderContent.Create(
        System.Guid("E6CD1973-B739-496E-AB69-32957FA48492"),
        Rhino.Render.RenderContent.ShowContentChooserFlags.None,
        scriptcontext.doc)
    render_material.BeginChange(Rhino.Render.RenderContent.ChangeContexts.Program)
    render_material.Name = "Double-Sided Material " + System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString()

The literate program from which the script was created: https://jesterking.github.io/rhipy/create_doublesided_rendermaterial.html . This explains the workings in more detail.
