Blend

What is it about?

This page describes the Blend node of the classic node materials in Cinema 4D. It mixes or layers two colors or textures with blend modes — closely related to the Layer function of the material system.

Comparable with the Layer Node's functionality, here you can mix two color layers in conjunction with the optional Mask. The effect is, however, restricted to two layers for the foreground and background whereas any number of color layers can be mixed using the Layer Node.

Using this Node, two colors, structures or textures can be mixed or layered. There are many similarities with the Material System's Layerand with the LayerMaterial Node.
