I tried to install the shader “JF Nested Dielectric” (see link below) in Houdini on my mac.

I copied jf_nested_dielectric.dylib and jf_nested_dielectric.mtd to the plugin folder. I change the parameter of the *.mtd-file:

********************************************************************************************************


desc STRING „Nested Dielectric Shader“
houdini.icon STRING ”SHOP_surface“
houdini.category STRING ”alShaders"

********************************************************************************************************

it seems that the shader probably doesn't work with houdini. Does anybody know about this problem? I'm not an expert for this coding.

I hope to look foward hearing from anybody. thanks!

Best regards,

Hi there

Not sure whether about the shader you have there and Houdini.

But this one works https://github.com/groundflyer/physhader-for-mantra [github.com]

And there is a nested dielectric shader in Houdini 16.

cheers
Nigel.

hi,

unfortunately the shader works with mantra render only but the way with the nested dielectric of houdini is also good.

it seems that *.dll and *.dylib need to be improved.

thank you for your advice!

cheers,
patric
