Node Editor Cycles Mixed Material Blender Stack Exchange The idea is for each material to have its own shader and mix them together with a mix shader node and a bw image (the white parts of the image represent one material, the black parts the other material). Although basic materials can be created in the properties panel, it can be much more efficient to use nodes and it will make it possible to produce more advanced materials.
Node Editor Cycles Mixed Material Blender Stack Exchange The slot menu can be used to select the active material slot on the active object. the material selector to the right of it can change the material that is in the selected slot. I’ve used the black white mask node set up to paint two materials with normals on my terrain. i want to paint with more than just two materials, but don’t know how to set up my nodes so i can easily switch between the layers corressponding with the textures i want painted. The node editor window is, in fact, the window we will use to build our shader by mixing the nodes (it's not the only way, actually, but we'll see this later). put the mouse cursor in the 3d view and add a plane under the cube (press shift a and navigate to mesh | plane). So we will cover all the need to know stuff about how a node system is supposed to work so that you can get comfortable with setting up your own materials with the node editor.

The goal is that when you have read and understood this article, you will have a pretty deep understanding of how blender nodes work under the hood, and also be able to create a large number of materials with just a handful of nodes. Once you know your way around the techniques required to create cycles materials through the use of nodes, while also applying multiple materials to the same object, things become much. You can in theory create any material in the properties editor just as well as the node editor, but in practice the node editor is a lot easier and faster to work with once you get used to it. Select all relevant nodes and group them with ctrl g. this way the created group is accessible within all material node trees, located in the add menu: shift a > groups > your group name.
