Substance Painter - Black Mask Blending the Overlapping Materials

Hello,

I have two separate folders here for metal and rust, the metal folder has a black mask that's supposed to completely cover the rust folder so that only small sections of the metal are chipped off, but the metal ends up blending with the rust and I have no idea how to fix this.
I have swapped all of the blending modes to normal, which did not fix it.

Hey, thanks!
The problem turned out to be that I had height enabled in the material properties tab.

Hello Luke,

 

Thank you for the message.

 

Make sure to switch the blending mode in the height Channel too.

 

 

Let me know if this helps.

      in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

      p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
