i made it to be my ground plane with the code

Code: Select all

	Plane plane(Vector3::UNIT_Y,0);
	MeshManager::getSingleton().createPlane("IDNamaPlane",
		ResourceGroupManager::DEFAULT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME,plane,1500,1500,
		20,20,true,1,5,5,Vector3::UNIT_Z);
	Entity* ent = mSceneMgr->createEntity("GroundPlane","IDNamaPlane");
	mSceneMgr->getRootSceneNode()->createChildSceneNode()->attachObject(ent);
	ent->setMaterialName("Template/try_to_blend");

the only picture shown in the plane is the last picture which is Destina.png.why it doesn't look like how it should on artist & content creation tutorials page ?

Replace the second texture unit with the following:

Code: Select all

texture_unit
{
    texture alpha_blend.png
    colour_op_ex source1 src_current src_current
    alpha_op_ex source1 src_texture src_texure
}

In the third unit you probably want to swap the src_texture and src_current. Else the alpha controls the base texture not the second splatted texture.

I can only recommend to read manual section 3.1 as it explains these operations and what they do. Where did you find this material?
