Limitations of Composite and Blend Materials

If the object has a Composite or Blend material applied to it, only certain elements render correctly. Which elements render correctly depend on the renderer you are using.

The default scanline renderer renders only these elements of a Composite or Blend material correctly:

• Diffuse color
• Specular color
• Reflections
• Ambient color
• Self-illumination color
• Refractions

The mental ray renderer renders only these elements of a Composite or Blend material correctly:

• Lighting
• Shadows
• Normals
