The Procedural nodes create patterns that you can utilize alone or in combination with the mapping and color textures to create memory-efficient procedural textures. Procedural textures can also create bump maps and other advanced materials with minimal impact to GPU memory. Explore creating materials using these textures before resorting to image-based textures. Procedural nodes are available inside an Octane VOP network by right-clicking or pressing the Tab key (Figure 1).
