Material Height Blend

In: Material Filters/Effects

Description

This node is a more advanced version of Height Blend that blends two materials based on their Heightmaps. There is no user-defined mask, so you must have two Heightmaps, one for each material, of which at least one is not a uniform value.

This can be useful for combining two different, high-quality materials without a high-quality blending mask.

If you want to blend in water or snow, the nodes Snow Cover and Water Level are available instead.
