To blend colors using the Blend
Color utility
- Create the following—Checker (2D
textures), Wood (3D
textures), Blend Colors (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.
