Layering projects provide an artist-friendly layer-based approach to creating textures for your assets. Layering is procedural and non-destructive, which means that if you change your asset it will not break your texturing. This allows for the creation of a project that can texture an entire class of assets while using the intuitive and fine-tuned experience of InstaMAT's layering UI.
