Trying to create a composite material....

jtroupe · November 8th, 2006

I am trying ot avoid the tiling that you get with grass on a big area by making a composite material of 2 different grass materials. So far I haven't had any success. Either one or the other shows up, not both. I also wanted to include a third image to get the look like the grass had just been mowed and you get the lines back and forth. (See attached image).

I am using scanline render to do my images.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

Looks fine to me it looks like it was 'mowed'

That image is not mine, I was just showing it to illustrate what look I am going for.

you have to use a Mask (black & white) map, put your first material on white areas & the 2nd on black areas & they will both show up

You can use Mix material with grass maps at color slots and a mask (noise map) at Mix amount slot to mix.
