H20.5: Building a Substance like texturing workflow in Copernicus

We're back! And Houdini now has Copernicus, a complete rebuild of the image workspace with a focus on texturing! So, let's see if we can build a texturing workflow where we can bring in multiple pbr texture sets and layer them onto an object with lot's of fancy masks. Just like, you know, some other texturing tools out there.
