# Redshift Texture Nodes

These nodes create somewhat more complex effects, such as a *Color Ramp*, *Ambient Occlusion (AO)*, *Curvature* or *Fresnel*. Other frequently used functions, such as the *Texture* node for loading bitmaps or the *Maxon Noise* for calculating random patterns, can also be found here.
