Blending Materials Together

When you have to blend two materials with displacement in Redshift, things can be a little tricky. Luckily, Nick Campbell figured out a super useful solution. Here is how you can create a blending displacement/material effect between two materials in Cinema 4D and Redshift, all while still maintaining drag-and-drop functionality.

This tutorial uses the fully-assembled materials from the Colorful Abstract Material Collection in Greyscalegorilla Plus.
