Generators are filters that make an additive change to your material. Generators often result in a substantial change to the appearance of your material, and are regularly used to create the foundations of a material as a result.

There are two main forms of generator:

• Converting generators convert the underlying material into a new form such as using the Panel filter to convert a flat steel material into multiple panels.
• Adding generators add new elements on top of the underlying material, such as the Atlas Scatter filter that scatters objects across a material from an input atlas.

Converting generators include:

• Brickwall
• Floor Tiles
• Panel
• Parquet
• Pavement
• Quilt Stitch
• Stonewall
• Surface Relief

Adding generators include:

• Atlas Scatter
• Decal
• Embossing
• Embroidery
