Procedural Materials
Maintaining creative control is not lost with automation. As I dive deeper into the authoring of materials and textures that are created with procedural methods, I'm blown away by the many benefits of this workflow. For example, how using this non-destructive approach lets me tweak every aspect of a material's properties and the texture pack associated with it. Right down to a small freckle. And how everything can be repurposed and/or modified on future projects.
