Channel Packing

In many Materials within Neos, a process/technique called Channel Packing is used. Channel Packing is a way of using the color data within images to represent information which Neos Materials can use. Each Pixel within these images is used as a value for a particular part of a Material.

For example in this image: File:BlackWhiteGradient.jpg

The Black parts could represent a value of 0 and the white parts represent a value of 1.
