The Multiply and Divide blending modes

In the Multiply blending mode, the Background input value is multiplied by each Foreground pixel it corresponds to. Since each pixel’s value falls between 0 and 1, the outcome is always lower (darker) than (or equal to) the value of the original pixel.

The Multiply blending mode is commutative.

In contrast, the Divide blending mode divides the input value of each background pixel by each matching foreground pixel. The Divide blending mode is non-commutative.

Let us see how to work with these nodes in the following steps:

1. Open the Multiply_and_Divide.sbs file from the given Substance 3D Designer exercise files, load the Multiply_and_Divide.sbs.sbsscn state file, then choose Plane (hi-res) from the Scene menu. Right-click with the mouse in the GRAPH window and choose View Outputs In 3D View.
2. In the Multiply_and_Divide.sbs.sbs Substance graph file (which is provided in the downloadable Substance_Designer_Exercise_Files...
