searching on google and werkspace only results in how to implement it, but not what they actually do. Can someone give a short explanation for what they do or mean.

 

Texture options for material file:

o Add:

o Multiply:

o Modulate2x:

 

Thanks in advance.

Here's some definitions (see image).

 

These are a mix of how 3DCoat handles blending layers (Modulate 2X, Add), and

a description of how Photoshop handles layers.....in this sense, not sure how LW

has it implemented, but a starting place for you, I guess.

Blend modes are implemented by OpenGL = the graphics driver and finally by the GPU itself. This is one of the few things even shader programmers don't have access to. There's no way to find out the color of the pixel that was already painted underneath the current pixel.
