# Types
## Brightness Mask
A texture which controls the local lightness or darkness of the texture, generally applied at a larger scale.
## Macro and Micro
Textures which are blended and applied at multiple scales and/or rotations.
## Warp
[[Displacement Mapping]] used on a texture (instead of vertices) to shift and stretch it across the UV axes.
## Distance Texturing
Use different textures, or different scales of the same texture, depending on how far away the texture/pixel is.

## Cell Bombing / Stochastic Texturing
Use [[Cellular Noise]] to generate a UV texture which semi-randomly offsets portions of the texture to reduce visible tiling.

```
Use a hexagonal pattern to do the same.

## Noise Mixing
Use noise to mix between multiple textures.
This tutorial also incorporates "cell bombing", but using procedural textures. Although in my testing having to use a separate texture to merge cells isn't super important if you configure the texture sampler to use nearest-neighbor instead of linear interpolation on the [[Cellular Noise]].
