mask and alpha map

[Scottiefeng]

Hi guys,

I have got the mask map as below that I want to apply to a knife. I try to make the black part transparent so that it would not block the steel texture.

Any idea how? thanks

You can combine any two image and color nodes with the "Mix Texture" node.

- In the amount input pin you either plug an RGBA image with an alpha layer or a bw grayscale mask image.

Mix Texture - OR standalone

Example:
2d plane primitive with
- Tiger.png with an alpha layer.
- Blue RGB color node

Note:

The "Mix Texture" node is not the same as the "Mix Material" node.
