Texture masking....

[mzagorski]

Ive seen some website showing textures for say... a floor made from tiles, but somehow, a second material is defined to show where parts of the floor is worn away using some kind of mask.

 

Can anyone explain how I can do this in Max 5?

 

Thanks

There was a tutorial from 3dtotal featuring texture masking and blending.

I hope this helps

Thanks Jucaro - but - There's a way to do this without using geometry and that is what Im trying to find!... I want to make a material that does this.

use blend materials and a mask

eventually you can use the mix maps too
