You need to weightmap first and second layers with this maps:

for the one weighted 60:



for the one weighted 40:



I made this material from yours:

Maps 40 and 60 should not cover the white part of the other two. What we are doing with 40 and 60 maps is avoiding those layers to affect the other two.

So you should blend in photoshop the image of the central strip and the two bands and invert the resulting image; after that lower the white level to 153 for 60% and to 102 for 40% (60 and 40% of 255).

hmm.. i dont get it.. the only thing i did was to change pattern of the maps and created the two you did make with the same rgb values, but now my to bands are grey again

Can you see what the problem is:

Ohh my mistake! I have fixed it, and thanks you very much for your time

One last question.. what does filtering do? I can se that you have checked them?

[Fernando Tella]

When you are rendering a texture too close to the camera you normally can see its pixels; filtering tries to smooth the transition between pixels so you can't see them so clearly.
