This page provides information on the V-Ray Mix (Map) Texture.
Overview
The Mix (Map) texture allows for two textures or other sources to be blended together.
Mix (Map) texture is called Mix texture in all versions until V-Ray version 3.60.
Any texture can be replaced via the Replace With New Texture (
) button, which activates when you select the texture to be replaced. If the texture is an instance, all copies are changed as well.
The middle section of the image represents a mix between a Bitmap texture (left) and a Mix Map Texture (right).
Parameters
Color Top – Specifies a color or texture to be blended on top. When a texture is selected, it overrides the color as long as the texture checkbox is enabled.
Color Bottom – Specifies a color or texture to be used as a base. When a texture is selected, it overrides the color as long as the texture checkbox is enabled.

Multiply – Multiplies the RGB numbers for each pixel of the top layer with the RGB number of the corresponding pixel from the bottom layer. The result is a darker picture. The color used for blending is black.
