Problem with layered shader
I ran into a problem today.
I have 3 surfaces which should get the same color (phong), but one should show a text as well. So I combined ONE phong for all three and another phong linked with a PSD file together. When I switch the PSD phong to transparency all geometry just disappears.
Any hints?
Thanks

PSD nodes are also very heavy computationally. What you should do, is save a copy out as a tga, or other format; and just use the standard file texture node instead.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
