'Overlapping' materials in MAXtoA?

[joshlord93]

Hello!

I'm currently using 3ds Max and MAXtoA. I've modelled a plastic object with a plastic material on it but I want to know if you can overlay a material on top. I want to have text or a logo on the object as well as the plastic shader but don't know how to do this in MAXtoA or whether it can be done?

A few ways to do this.

Here is one of them:

You can introduce a bit of controller hooks, to make it easier to position the text or logo for the artist.
Using a Layered RGBA and treat it as a Photoshop document with layers and blends.

Made a small video you can see here explaining how to rig it in one way with scene helper to position your logo a nice place.
