Mix and blend materials
- [Instructor] One of the most useful features of Octane's material system is the ability to mix two materials together, and in the 3.08 update you can also create blend materials which can have multiple material inputs. This saves you layering up multiple mix materials. Now since mix materials are simpler to grasp, let's first turn our attention to those. So here we have a scene with this paper swan and we want to actually put a material on this. At the moment there isn't one on the swan, it's just being lit by the daylight so it looks kinda cool but we can make it look better. So I'd like to store the render buffer and I'll just drop on this paper material that we have here. Drop it onto the top of the hierarchy. And you can see if we just scrub over, we're getting a much nicer looking paper material. What's awesome about this as well is we have this light passing through the material, and that's due to the transmission that's on the diffuse channel. So just to illustrate what's…
