| Tutorial 2. Applying multiple images: Eg. Car Decals. |
The basics:
Here is another example showing the use of a 'Mask' to hide parts of an image. It
should be obvious to see that the 'BLACK' parts of the mask HIDE the image
underneath, and the 'WHITE' parts SHOW the image underneath. In the example
above only the 'Goodyear'™ logo is visible in the render.
For black and white images it is therefore possible to use the same 'Image' for
both the 'Map' and the 'Mask', which saves having to make a separate mask
image. In this case should the 'Mask' be inverted there is the handy 'Invert Mask'
checkbox under the 'Mask' slot.
So how do we apply BOTH these images to the object? We use a different Map!
