lerp Coloring

zombie420

I've seen a couple examples of folks coloring meshes using material instances with RGB alpha channels. d1ver did it in his Swamp scene and bugo did it in his oxford scene.

I have no idea what that material chain looks like but I want to learn it.

you lerp between a solid color and your "regular" diffuse texture with the mask as... the mask the better your mask is the nicer the solid color blends into your texture. it's pretty much just 4 nodes connected together. 2 texture samples, a constant3 vector and the lerp node.

Lerp(Diffuse, ColorB, Mask) basically.

What software are you using?

Thanks guys, that wasn't bad at all. It looks like the mask can't be the alpha of the diffuse but its own texture file; that's what was tripping me up. Thanks
