How to simulate tension maps/dynamic wrinkles on clothing and other items with normal maps

Guides How to simulate tension maps/dynamic wrinkles on clothing and other items with normal maps

Great thanks to Dragontales for creating this free and genius plugin: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/angle-driven-triggering-system.58792/.

You can trigger a lot of parameters other than normal maps, but this is very useful for adding immersion in clothing creation. Just brainstorm whatever you can think of! Eager to see more creations with this tool. A simple video walkthrough attached.

Note there may be some restriction for triggering parameters of skin maps because the skin params-like skin glossness will impact the whole body map, while clothing maps can be customized for any part of the clothing by assigning as many material slots for as many parts.

I hope developers can create something even more advanced based on this, like using some raise eyebrow morph to trigger the local normal map of the forehead.
