Q. Ever wondered how to mix two - or more - materials in Blender? A. Well, you're not alone! I wondered the same thing ever since I began using Blender, remembering my yesteryears with Alias Power Animator and Maya, where mixing shaders was the norm. This video is a quick demonstration of how to mix materials (or Shaders) in Blender. For example, you might have a metallic base and want to add some rust. You get the idea. Speaking of metal things, have you seen my Hammer texturing video? You might find that useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol2vADDKSRo The cool thing is, once you learn how to mix two materials, you can continue mixing that material with yet another material, and so on. 02:05 Start of the 2 material mix 12:40 Start of the 2 plus 1 mix - Inception! Have fun playing around in the Shader Editor - and don't be put off by "lots of nodes!" syndrome. Once you break things down, and stay organised, it ain't so bad...
