• TexBitmap - Uses the data from a bitmap buffer (see next two points) with some additional parameters, like color multipliers, tiling etc.
• BitmapBuffer - Loads an image file. A large number of formats are supported - lossy/lossless, from 8-bit to 32-bit. This is not a texture plugin and its only purpose is to feed data to TexBitmap. It has some options for filtering and gamma.
• RawBitmapBuffer - Same as BitmapBuffer, but uses uncompressed data from memory, instead of a file on disk.
• TexPtex - Texture loaded from a PTex file. This doesn't use BitmapBuffer.

Textures that modify and combine colors:

• TexAColorOp - One of the most used combination plugins. It has two input AColor textures, two optional multiplier textures, an optional separate alpha channel input texture and a lot of output textures: sum, difference, product, division, min, max, intensity, power and single color channel outputs.
• TexBlend - Blend two input AColor textures using another float texture for weighting (or a constant value, of course).
• TexClamp - Clamp an input texture between some min and max values.
• TexCondition - Switch between two AColor textures depending on some type of comparison between two float textures.

Some procedural textures:

• .
• TexFloatOp - Similar to TexAColorOp for floats.
• TexGradient, TexGradRamp, TexRamp - Gradient textures.
• TexHSVToRGB - Convert HSV input texture to RGB.
• TexInvert - Returns the input texture's complementary color.
• TexLayered - Combine an unlimited number of textures.
• TexLuminance - Returns a single float luminance (0.3R + 0.59G + 0.11B) from input color texture. Note that in V-Ray terms this is different from the "intensity" term, which is (0.33R + 0.33G + 0.33B).
• TexMulti - Similarly to MtlMulti, choose a texture from a list by indexing with face material ID or object ID or randomized.
• TexRaySwitch - Use a different texture for different types of rays: shadow, GI, reflection, refraction and default.
• TexRemap -
• TexUserColor and TexUserScalar - Advanced usage with user attributes.

Some procedural textures:

• TexChecker - A checkerboard pattern. The two alternating colors are also texturable.
• TexCloth - A weaved cloth pattern (as the one in Autodesk Maya)
• TexCellular - Procedural cellular noise pattern. Different types of cells are supported, including fractal.
• TexCurvature - A value proportional to local curvature at shading point.
• TexDirt - An ambient occlusion effect around concave edges and dents in the geometry (with an inversion option).
• TexDistance - Generates a color gradient according to distance from a specified list of objects.

• TexEdges - Generates wireframe color along polygon edges.

• TexFalloff - Generates a falloff gradient depending on the angle between surface normal and camera view direction or some other axis.

• TexFresnel - Used to generate Fresnel reflection color if you're not using BRDFVRayMtl.

• TexLeather - Procedural leather imitation.
• TexMarble - Procedural marble imitation.
• TexNoise, TexNoiseMax, TexNoiseMax - Different types of configurable procedural noise.
• TexRock - Procedural stone imitation.
• TexSmoke - Procedural 2d smoke texture.
• TexSnow - Procedural snow imitation. Covers surface in snow color down to some normal vector threshold.
• TexSoftbox -
• TexTiles - Procedural tiles with different layout options.
• TexWater - Procedural wave texture.
• TexWood - Procedural wood imitation.
• TexChecker - A checkerboard pattern. The two alternating colors are also texturable.
• TexCloth - A weaved cloth pattern (as the one in Autodesk Maya)
• TexCellular - Procedural cellular noise pattern. Different types of cells are supported, including fractal.
• TexCurvature - A value proportional to local curvature at shading point.
• TexDirt - An ambient occlusion effect around concave edges and dents in the geometry (with an inversion option).
• TexDistance

• TexEdges

• TexFalloff
