Mix Shader.¶

The Mix node is used to mix two shaders together. Mixing can be used for material layering, where the Factor input may, for example, be connected to a Blend Weight node.

Inputs¶

Shader: Shaders to mix, such that incoming rays hit either with the specified probability in the Factor socket.
Factor: Blend weight to use for mixing two shaders; at zero it uses the first shader entirely and at one the second shader.

Properties¶

This node has no properties.

Outputs¶

Shader: Standard shader output.

Examples¶

A mix of a glossy and a diffuse shader makes a nice ceramic material.¶
