Top/bottom Material Not Working

[visualasylum]

I thinkI'm going to answer myself, and correct me if I'm wrong, I tried applying a TOP/BOTTOM material to a box, and it wouldn't show the blend in the vertical faces, I guess it's because the normals have to be either up or down? the front faces are not showing neither up or down, but towards the Horizontal direction.

Does anyone know if there's a way to make it work with a box?

Eitherway I found a solution by using a Blend material, and using a gradient(black and white) in the opacity channel to fade in between materials. Works like a charm.

but if anyone manages to apply a TOP/BOTTOM material to a simple box, showin the blend in the vertical faces, I would love to know how.

cheers,
