As I mentioned in my earlier post I am going to start posting links to my tutorials here, together with the project files. Some people can access this forum, but not google sites or vimeo, so at least this way they will get the files.

This tutorial has been out for a month or so. It looks at a technique for generating wetmaps in Houdini.

The tutorial is at http://vimeo.com/52290971 [vimeo.com]

I attach the scene file. Enjoy

Maybe do it in the one thread.

At 4:37 in the turtorial video, when trying to make a colorMix node, I get “invalid node type name”. I'm a noob, but I think I followed along to that point pretty closely. I'm using houdini 12.0.581 apprentice.

How can I successfully create a color mix node?

thanks

re-installing houdini fixed it.
