Hi

You can create a blend material with another blend material nested in. Any number of nested materials is possible. You have to create masks for the different materials.

Hope that helps

The way I'd do it is make sure your walls are editable poly.

 

1. Select all the walls in sub-object poly mode.

2. Click slice plane and position it at the base of your walls.

3. move the slice plane up 1 meter, click slice.

4. move it up 10 cm, click slice, etc. etc. for all the different paint colors

 

Create a multi sub-object material with a slot for all the diff. colored paints you want and assign them accordingly.

 

Personally I think it's easier than to try to fake the distances using a blend material but at least you have choices..

Good luck.
