How to mix two textures where one has texture as alpha

I have setup like this:

this is fishnet stockings texture, I like to add separate texture as a sewing, but when I do it like that:

The result is like below:

The problem is I have no idea how to make it black… if I change the color to black it goes transparent.

Hi,

Would you mind to provide your .blend file so that I’ll take a look at it?

If you can, just don’t forget to pack all of your resources into your .blend file, to do so, go to FileExternal DataPack All Into .blend, or just check the box “Automatically Pack Into .blend” in that same tab, in order to tell Blender to save all the assets into your .blend file automatically.

Most likely, there’s something wrong with your UV unwrapping.

First of all: you are using a mix shader to mix your previous shader… with color…

So you might want to mix the lace and the stocking image with a mix node and use it as the base color and also maybe mix the opacity map with the stocking image to make up a new alpha… and adjust the the mix factors to you liking…

It is going to depend on what your Net texture looks like to set things up correctly,
Here is one example that gets the fishnet Black and adds a black seam along one edge …

Sorry for late response, this is sample blend, with the same setup.

Thanks for the reply, I tried this setup but I get invisible object :frowning:

Thank you so much. I wish I had such good understanding of how material nodes work in blender :s Still learning…

You’ll get there! It just takes time and practice…watch all the videos you can on materials and eventually, you will have a good understanding of how to Plug Stuff in… I still might have an idea and I just start grabbing nodes just to see what it would get me as close to the idea as the nodes will alow!

Happy Blending!
