< p > The workflow nodes can be used to organize the generation of complex materials, based
on simple homogeneous materials and maps that describe the overall geometry of the
whole material.< / p >
< p > The < strong > CreateMap< / strong > node is used to create a map that holds the height, orientation and
offset of the material.< / p >
< img alt = "_images/workflow_map.png" class = "align-center" src = "_images/workflow_map.png" / >
< p > The < strong > MixMaps< / strong > node can be used to combine maps (based on their
height information) that will be applied to the same material.< / p >
< img alt = "_images/workflow_mixed_maps.png" class = "align-center" src = "_images/workflow_mixed_maps.png" / >
< p > Base (flat) materials consist of albedo, ORM (ambient occlusion, roughness, metallic),
emission and normal channels. A few example materials are provided in the
< strong > Workflow/Materials< / strong > section of the library.< / p >
< img alt = "_images/workflow_base_material.png" class = "align-center" src = "_images/workflow_base_material.png" / >
< p > Maps are then applied to base materials using the < strong > ApplyMap< / strong > node to generate
new (reoriented and offset) materials (with albedo, ORM, emission and normal) associated
to height information.< / p >
< img alt = "_images/workflow_applied_map.png" class = "align-center" src = "_images/workflow_applied_map.png" / >
< p > Different materials with height information can then be mixed based on their height
using the < strong > Mix< / strong > node to generate more complex materials.< / p >
< img alt = "_images/workflow_mix.png" class = "align-center" src = "_images/workflow_mix.png" / >
< p > The result can then be fed into the < strong > Material< / strong > node using the < strong > Output< / strong > node, that
generates the overall normal and ambient occlusion maps using the height map.< / p >
