To
blend colors using the Blend Color utility

the following—Checker (2D
textures), Wood (3D
textures), Blend Colors (Color
Utilities), and a Lambert material.
- Ctrl+middle+drag
the Checker swatch over the Blend
Colors swatch.
The Connection Editor appears.
- Click
to connect the Checker’s Out
Color to the Blend Color’s
Color1 node.
- Ctrl+middle-drag
the Wood texture swatch over the Blend
Color swatch, and in the Connection Editor,
connect the Wood’s Out
Color to Blend Color’s Color2 node.
- Middle-drag
the Blend Color swatch over the Lambert material
swatch and select color from the pop-up menu.
The result is a blend between the wood and checker
textures. In the Blend Color’s Attribute
editor, when you adjust the Blender slider
towards 1, more of the checker texture appears and when you adjust the Blender slider
towards 0, more of the wood texture appears.
