+==== Distributing points ====
+When distributing points, it is important to understand that the **vertices** are the elements that are going to be used to calculate the texture so a high number of vertices is required on a grid for example to create the textures.
+A **viewer node** can be used to visualize the pattern to align the number of points to a sufficient amount to properly see the patterns.
+**Color ramps** may be used to further augment the contrast and distribute points finely on a given texture.

+To distribute points but avoid proximity to geometry use a setup including **Geometry Proximity** similar to this :

+==== Instancing Collections ====
+To instance collections use the Collection Info node.

 ===== Fields =====
 Noodles with dotted lines are actually field values and can be thought of as lists or arrays in programming. They contain a value for a select number of items.
