Hello,

Just started to learn materialX and shading, and I have super basic questions:

1) Can I save .mltx material directly from Houdini, let's say I want to save a materialX shading network created in Houdini and load in other app?

2) Are there any "artist" friendly demos/tutorials on MaterialX (even outside Solaris/Houdini)? For example: This is how you setup glass or metal with scratches in MaterialX. PS: I found some tutorials but they are basic, eg create "mtlx standard surface" and add textures to base colors, roughness, etc.

Thanks for helping

Try right-clicking on a mtlxSubnet. Under the Save menu option choose MaterialX.
