merging textures

[kalashnikov]

Hi,
Can anyone explain, if it is possible to merge two or more textures with UV maps in one? In Cycles is baking option. I have tried Vray bake, but I don' t really understand how it works with Vray.

So, do you want to blend the textures in the material? Or you want to bake an object into the texture?

For example, I have 3D scan of a human with 2 or 3 textures. I import OBJ file of this 3D scan into Blender and add those 2-3 textures. For colored 3D printing I need to create from those 2-3 texture only ONE texture. Right now I'm switching between Vray and Cycles to do so. In Cycles it is very simple, but in Vray I didn't figure out, how to do it. Maybe it is not even possible?

Do any of the "layered" nodes give you the options you want to combine materials or textures?

I need output PNG as merged textures.

Could you post a scene or screenshots?

So you want baked texture. I have had trouble with baking in VRay*, the texture was broken. If all you need is to combine two+ textures into one texture and all are the same size + have the same UV placement, I think Photoshop / Gimp would be faster and easier.
I assume you have two+ textures in Blender and you need to combine them into one image that your printer can print over the 3D printed model.

VRay baking process is shown here:
