Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

cluster deformer problem

I am using cluster deformer to simulate paper folding. As far as folding concerned, there is no problem. Everything works fine. Here I am showing a corner folding using cluster deformer.

The problem is when I render it, the back side shows dark area (I expect that it should be white in all area). There is no overlapping between paper since the rotation is only 179 degrees. I am using an ambient light, so there is no shadow involved here.

Any comments would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

The double sided shader are already included. That is not the problem. You could see the back shader from the rendered image.

I figured out the problem. Harden edge solves the problem.
