Help with Blending two textures in Softimage by height?

synergy11

I was wonder if it is possible to blend textures by height like I watched in UDK.

So if one texture was a brick and the other texture is moss. You can paint with vertex to only have the moss blended in the cracks?

Like this. http://eat3d.com/free/vertex_painting

Any direction would be appreciated!

I don't know XSI at all, but I think you might need an CGFX or HLSL if it's supported by XSI to do something like that.

Is this going to be for mental ray, or a realtime asset?

This would be for mental ray.

Here's a very basic blend that lets you paint vertex color for a weight. I imagine if there was a texture to act as a height mask, you could use some of the math nodes to properly combine it with the to only fill in recessed areas.
