Smart Height Blend


  • Shotcut (Nodegraph Only): CTRL+ALT+H


  • Hotbox: C (Height Blend)





 To make it easier to set up a Height Blend system between Nodegraph nodes or materials, a new 'Smart Height Blend' Option has been added.

 Smart Height Blend will ...


  • with two nodes selected, auto connect the nodes to the FG/BG Ports of the Height Blend and connect the result to a Mask slot of

a already connected node (e.g. Merge, Mix etc.)


  • with two materials selected,  auto connect the materials 'Displacement' Ports to the FG/BG Ports of the Height Blend and connect the result to a Mask slot of a already connected node  (e.g. Multi-Channel Merge, Mix etc.)


  • If no node is selected or only one node is selected, the standard Mari behavior is maintained.


The Smart Height Blend Option is mapped to the default Nodegraph Shortcut CTRL+ALT+H and is also available from the Create Nodes Marking Menu
