    How do I take multiple images/textures and blend them together?
    Is there a shader tree concept?
    Do I use a special “tag” between my materials?

    Thanks,

    Well, there might be different ways to do this…

    Try this : create 4 different textures and drag them all on to a sphere /
    make sure that at the first texture-tag

    The other way to do this is to use the Layer Shader within a single material. The layer shader works similar to Photoshop or AE, so you can add as many layers as you want, change blending modes, use masks, folders, etc.

    Two excellent suggestions!
    Both methods work quite differently and are equally as useful + !
    Cheers.
