How do I blend more than two materials??
I remember seeing someone on the forum blending five of them.
Where did I see this, and how can I do this?

Thanks for any ansver.
Sorry for my b.a.

You blend blended material

You create four mat, you create two blended with these mats, then you blend your two blended

Or put in a different way (no offence vanessa !) :
- Create your 3 materials, A, B and C.
- Create a blended material, blending with A and B. Let's say its name is AB.
- Create a blended material, blending AB with C.

Hope it's clear.

I take it that you can't use an Emitter in a Blended material? Does anyone have a suggestion for a work around?

What do you want to blend it with?
If you want it to mirror, make a thin (but 3D!) transparent plane in front of it. If you want alpha, thats not possible currently.

Yes.
No. - or maybe yes...
You *can* use a textured emitter

If you blend that from one colour, you want to have, to an other, it would be like a blended emitter.... - though, that for sure wouldn't work in all cases...

let me guess.... you made two meshes, one a bit bigger and with a blend of a null and that metal-material, and the other one, a ball of either an emitter (on) or also the metal material (off)...

I thought, you want to blend two emitters xD
