Alpha Blending

Bitmanagement Feature Labs

Alpha blending Lab

This lab shows a particular mode of the Multitexture node: BLENDFACTORALPHA. Indeed, using this mode, and by changing the field "alpha" of the MultiTexture, you can smoothly blend between textures.

In the example, drag the white arrow on the slider for modifying the value of the alpha field, and the result will appear in the window.
You can also change the texture of each layer, and even drag-drop your own textures on the two squares.

With scripting, you can for example make a slideshow (cf. "Applications" > "Fictive" > "Advertisement banners").
