simple material mix question
Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2011 10:19 am
Hey guys
actually this one should be very easy but i can't get it to work.
Imagine you got a lng cylinder with a texture on it ( from the bottom to the top)
Now i add another diffuse material ( bright red ) and also
a gradient texture and a mix material in order to combine them all together.
So i want the ( black / white gradient) to controll where on the cylinder
the color should come through and where the texture should be
visible, actually very simple but it doesn't work.
The Mix Material always mixes the whole object, but what i want
is to see ONLY the texture at the bottom to the mid point of the cylinder
and then with a smooth transition to the top only the texutre.
Can anyone give an advice?
