creating a desert floor
Hello,
I am relatively new to C4d and I have been reading the manual, reading and expiermenting with Arndt’s book C4d R10, searching the web and this forum for a way to create a floor that has multiple varitions in it. What I want to achieve is to create a desert scene where the floor has different colors/textures/patterns and different variations. I have used the landscape object to achieve some different variations which has worked great so far. If you put in a floor from what I can tell it always tiles any texture you add to it, which is not the effect I’m looking for. Is there any easy way to do this? I thought about painting on it but it doesn’t appear that you can make a floor editable and use Bodypaint to achieve this aspect. I must be approaching this the wrong way.
Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks

The floor primitive can’t be made editable because it’s an infinite plane. Try using a very large plane primitive instead.

I thought this probably was the way to do this. Can you mix multiple textures on a single plane?
Thanks

Yes, you can mix textures within a single material using the layer shader (like Photoshop layers) or you can stack them one on top of another using alphas or the “mix” option in the texture tag. The downside to the latter is that you’re limited to “Add” mix mode.
