Hi Guys,

i want to make several pieces of one single texture shiny and others diffuse. How can i achieve this using just one texture?
I think a good way is to use material mix but i don't know how to show to octane which parts he has to make glossy.

E.g. take a look at the simple texture i uploaded. How can i make the white part glossy and the black diffuse?

This should be easily done with a "material mix" node - put the b&w texturemap above into the value pin, then the glossy into "texture1" and the diffuse material into "texture2".
