This section details all the Texture nodes available in the Maps rollout in the Slate MaterialThe representation of the surface or volume properties of an object. Editor.

Texture types are classified into the following:

• Texture Generators - These generate colors, import Texture maps, and create Procedural textures similar to specific patterns used in the real world.
• Texture Modifiers - These nodes modify existing Texture nodes in some way, such as color correction or inverting.
• Transforms - These nodes control Texture placement on an Object's surface.
• ProjectionsMethods for orienting 2D texture maps onto 3D surfaces. - These specify how the Procedural textures or Image textures are mapped across a surface.
• EmissionsThe process by which a Black body or Texture is used to emit light from a surface. - This set of nodes provides illumination functionality for an Object's surface.
