probleme ocured in this scene

[sam mcfly]

Hey, i'm new in blender and indigo.

In my scene i use a blend material (water+null) to simulate some splash.

When i try to render it, i had this error.

A problem occurred with the scene:
Scene parsing error: Error while parsing blend material: No such material defined 'splash'. (In element 'scene / material / blend'):
<blend>
<b_name>blendigo_null</b_name>
<blend>
<texture>
<texture_index>0...

How can i fix it?

Thanks, Sam.

If your water material is specular, then your error might come from the fact that you can't mix two delta materials, such as: null+specular/null+null/specular+specular. This is what I get when trying to mix these two types within C4D: "ERROR: Error while building scene: Error while loading blend material 'Indigo Material': Blend Material Error: both materials 'a' and 'b' are delta materials (specular or null), and the internal media differ...".

Thanks for the reply.

The water material is an external mat download from indigo's website ( Liquids: Pool Water ).

So i can't fix it? because if i use phong or diffuse mat, it looks so unrealistic...

Thanks, Sam.

Well, if you can't fix it, you can work around it! Not that long ago, FakeShamus made an awesome material, you can find it here:

Maybe his workflow, and creation can help you out a bit? Seems like a mix of a specular material type and phong works really well in his case. If you really, really need a transparent material mix, all I can offer you right now is to try blending specular and glossy transparent material types. This splash right here seems like a mix of those two, or even just a glossy transparent one, with variable exponent values: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs49/f/2009/ ... itPunk.jpg
