I would like to suggest a tutorial for the vop shops network, using the default system to create a completely custom material from a default one. going through each type of material would be highly beneficial.

E.g.:

http://www.rohandalvi.net/textures/ [rohandalvi.net]

very useful thankyou

the first Tea and Cookie is a good one. Bought it and im very happy about it.
Look for part 2 - light, shade and render

I would also highly recommend the tutorials by Rohan Dalvi (www.rohandalvi.net). They are extremely informative and some of the best Houdini tutorials I have seen. Also Peter Quint's tutorials are very good (https://vimeo.com/channels/54102) [vimeo.com] but I'm not sure other then these two https://vimeo.com/channels/pqhoudini/80134507 [vimeo.com] & https://vimeo.com/channels/pqhoudini/42486306 [vimeo.com] that he has any others on materials or shaders…
