Material Layer

What is it about?

This page documents the Material Layer node of the Redshift renderer in Cinema 4D. It combines a base and one additional material with mask and blend type — the compact two-layer sibling of the Material Blender.

This node is closely related to the Material Blender, but only offers a base layer and one additional material layer. The top layer material can use a Mask and a Blend Type.


The Material Layer node outputs a combination of two materials.
