#1. LP Solidify

  1. Create Modifier “Solidify” on Low Poly and change in material on value “1”
  2. Add two materials to Low Poly rename optional Name: “LP_Front” and “LP_Back”
  3. In material LP_Front change Alpha on value “0.600” and LP_Back must be Alpha “0.000”
  4. Select “Backface Culling”
  5. Create Modifier “Displace” change Strength: “0.008” and Midlevel: “0.000”

#2. LP Instance

  1. Create Instance Alt + D your “Low_Poly” and select in “Low_Poly_Instance” check box “In Front”
  2. Create Material in “Low_Poly” and change Alpha on value “0.600”
  3. Create Material in “Low_Poly_Instance” and change Alpha on value “0.600”
  4. Create Modifier “Displace” change Strength: “0.008” and Midlevel: “0.000”
