Source node
Texture
A pattern factory with ten procedural surfaces on tap — bricks, cell clusters, swirling marble, wood grain, wave bands, checkers, clouds, and rocky Musgrave terrain — all generated live rather than loaded from a file, so they can be animated forever.
What it does
Texture is a source node: it makes a picture from nothing, so it sits at the start of a visual chain. It has no input and gives picture out, so it starts a chain.
Try it
Run a Brick pattern through Color Ramp to turn plain masonry into a stylized sunset gradient.

Controls
Every control with a range can be driven by a modulator, a note, an audio level or a sketch.
