-----Textures Overview-----

Texture types allow for creating very flexible materials. This section of the Reference Guide details all the texture nodes available in the Add Node menu of the Node Editor - Shaders category.

Texture types are classified into the following:

• Octane Values – Contains nodes for creating either float or integer values.
• Octane Projections – These specify how the procedural textures or image textures will be mapped across a surface.
• Octane Transforms - Contains nodes for setting various transformation types of other textures.
• Octane Medium - This category contains nodes for creating participating media inside objects such as subsurface scattering.
• Octane Emission - These nodes allow surfaces to emit light.
• Octane Texture – Texture maps with varying states including Alpha, Greyscale and RGB.
• Octane Shader - This category contains the top-level material types (Diffuse, Glossy, Specular, etc.)
