Title, how do the blend textures work (not usage but their contents) and is there a way to efficiently make custom textures that work the same way as CS blend textures do?
#Is there a way to create textures like Hammer's _blend textures?

you just need to add a heightmap to each material
then you can adjust blend parameters in material editor
timid flame
The heightmap being the texture I want as the 2nd texture? Or?
full sapphire
cs2 doesnt actually use the heightmap for anything else, so you can think of it like a blendmod
both
the "blendmod" is created by cs2 by overlaying them together, kinda
you can adjust how the heightmaps are mixed in material editor
timid flame
Ahh, so I just need to add a heightmap texture and nothing else? And then set the blend stuff in settings of the material?
full sapphire
yep
timid flame
Thank you so much ❤️
full sapphire
then use the csgo_environment_blend shader
timid flame
Where exactly
full sapphire
in material editor
full sapphire
then use the csgo_environment_blend shader
this references two other materials that you created before
timid flame
So it completes the puzzle basically
full sapphire
not sure what you mean by that but sure i guess lol
timid flame
In the shader the 2 textures are referenced therefore the blend texture is complete
Is that it?
full sapphire
how familiar are you with s1 blend textures
timid flame
Never touched hammer or map making before october

yea this is correct
