Layer Editor

In the Layer Settings pane, the Layer Editor lets you blend multiple textures. See Blending multiple textures. Four buttons at the top of the Layer Editor let you manage the textures in the Layered texture.

Button	Function
Add	Adds a new texture to the scene and attaches it to the Layered texture.
Remove	Detaches the selected texture from the Layered texture. The texture is not deleted from the scene.
Up	Moves the selected texture up in the list of layered textures.
Down	Moves the selected texture down in the list of layered textures.

Note

When a texture is already in the scene, there are two ways you can add it to a Layered texture. Dragging the texture from the Scene browser, either drop it into the Layer Editor or onto the Layered texture in the Scene browser.

Once you have added a texture to the Layered texture, it appears in the list of layers with Blend Mode and Transparency settings.

To rename a texture:

In the Layer Editor, double-click the texture in the list of layers.
Rename the texture and press Enter.

To remove a texture:

In the Layer Editor, click the texture in the list of layers.
Click Remove.
The selected texture is detached from the Layered texture. It is not deleted from the scene.

NoteTo remove multiple textures simultaneously, Ctrl-click the textures you want to remove and then click Remove.

Blend Mode

The Blend Mode menu lets you control and animate how textures are mixed in the Layered texture.

Option	Description
Translucent	The texture layer is transparent, depending on the Alpha settings.
Additive	The color of the new texture is added to the previous texture.
Modulate	The color value of the new texture is multiplied by the color values of all previous layers of texture.
Modulate2	The color value of the new texture is multiplied by two and then multiplied by the color values of all previous layers of texture.

Transparency

The Transparency settings let you adjust and animate a texture’s level of transparency. See Blending multiple textures.
