Title: Two materials mix
Post by: nodarchika on 2023-01-11, 18:09:29

Hello.
Is there any way in Corona, to make two material mix with vertex map?

t=634s
Something like this I mean.

There is, but the feature is buggy, and I don't know if it's been fixed yet. Cannot use refraction which results in problems. It complicated my life, honestly it's the kind of failure that can't happen. This feature is crucial! It saves a lot of time in post-production.

No I dont want refraction, any 2 solid materials that could mix is fine for me.

You have to use the Layered Material with a mask for that. Search on YT for it, there are quite a few clips showing this method. Pretty straightforward.

Pretty friendly with YT but this particular video I coudlt find.
layered material I got it, but no mask is mentioned.

Could you do me a favor and link one?

Same principle for C4D. You can use whatever you want for masking. textures, Vertex maps, falloff, etc.

As suggested, you can use the layered mat and a vertex map as a mask. Super simple. :)
