(Solved) SP - Blend material by painted height

bitinn

Hi,

Is there a way to procedurally mask a layer by height using anchor point?

Basically, I have a wall panel and a height map representing inset/outset, how can I "apply different materials based on height procedurally"? If not, what's the alternative?

Thx!

yes, simple add an anchor point to the layer on which you have the height painted.
You can then create masks on your material layers and add a Fiil effect to them. Select the Anchor Point in the fill, make sure to select the height channel in the anchor options.
Finally, add a level or gradient effect on top of it to define precisely the range of your mask.

Oh thx! I didn't realize simpler effect can select anchor point too.
