C4D Material Blender doesn’t seem to blend
Hi all. Extremely new to C4D and not terribly familiar with node-based shaders/materials, although I do have some understanding. That said, I cannot seem to get a material blender to function.
My mograph color is working: if I ramp that and plug it into my material’s output, I see black and white that changes according to the mograph stuff I’ve added to my scene. As soon as I plug in my material blender, I see only my base layer material (a reference to another material): I never see my layer 1 material, despite having plugged my ramped color user data node into the blend color input of the material blender.
Thanks for any help or direction!

The material intensity should be in the middle of 0 to 100% to blend both materials. Open material blender node and do check that the layer 1 material visibility is enabled. Also, check the texture tags to ensure that the proper material is assigned. Refresh material preview in the node setup and test your preview with a quick render to see if it works as expected.

Hi,
The problem may be with the reference materials because they are not supposed to appear black in the Node editor. I have put below a link of a good tutorial about blending materials. I hope it will be useful to you.
Thanks!
