Hello...im looking for texturing advanced terrain with blendmap command (with 6 different textures) ???

simple blendmap texture

red color =texture1
green color =texture2
blue color =texture3
black color =texture4
white color =texture5
transparent color =texture6

is there anyway for use 6 textures for advanced terrain with blendmap technique or maybe using shader?

IMHO black and white would not work.

Yes. Just use the appropriate blend mode options in the set blend mapping on command.

You could also look at this which illustrates some of the more advanced features:

It certainly is. Well done.

It might be difficult to add an extra layer using that method. You are limited to 8 blending stages in total and you've used 7. You probably need two stages to do it that way and you only have one spare. I'll see if I can think of a way.

Alternatively, use a shader. There are some terrain blending shader demos on the forum. It would be good to do it with pure DBPro though.
