OctaneRender® for Blender

The Cosine Mix texture mixes two textures together according to a cosine wave. In Figure 2, a Checks texture combines with a Marble texture using a Cosine Mix texture, and then it connects to a Diffuse material's Diffuse channel. It is very similar to the Mix texture, but the difference between the Cosine mix texture and the Mix texture is more apparent when the Mix Amount parameter is shifted towards 0 or 1.
