| Well heck, if you can do that with two
channels, why not 3? The answer is, yep..you can! However, in the ABC mode,
Bryce blends its material pudding in a different bucket. You can't do this with 4 channels. |
 Do this by holding the Ctrl button and click the third component channel. Also remember that this ABC method can be used in any of the other components: Ambient, Specular, etc. |
| In this mode, the A and B
textures are blended based on the alpha channel in texture C. White areas in the
alpha channel of texture C indicate that is where to apply the texture values from A;
Black areas indicate where to apply the value from B. THIS IS REVERSED WITH PICTURE TEXTURES!!! |
|
The picture texture in C is the alpha channel in this case. Notice that the diffuse color from component A is applied to the black areas, and component B is applied to the white areas. Keep in mind that since the alpha channel in the above image is a picture texture, the blending mode is reversed. |
|
| Hmmm, based on this little bit of info, what would happen if the alpha were gray? You guessed it...it'd blend. In other words, you could apply two textures at once. | |
Yellow and Red make Orange! In effect, 2 textures at once! This does have limits though, but it's definitely worth some experimenting. |
