And so, what this does is allows you to create multiple materials, apply them to an object, and then mix them using either masks or transparency. So, let's take a look at how this works. So, I've got this simple bottle in the scene here, and I already have a glass material created for this. Now, when I render that it will look something like this. So, I'm not going to go through the process of rendering it, but as you can see, it's basically just a glass bottle. Now, what we need to do is create what's called a layered shader, and that will allow me to add in a second material. So, let's go into our hyper shade. Now, in my hyper shade, you can see I have this glass material. And if I graph it, you can see it's very simple. It's really just a standard Arnold material attached to a shading group. And if we take a look at…
