    Learning a lot of useful things from this. Well put together and organized and not too difficult to follow. Thanks for taking the time to record this.

    One thing to note: On Houdini 17.5.173
    If you Create Reference Copy to create the right half and then change the values, it will actually update the original nodes on the left, so you end up with two right halves. I had to do a full copy without reference.

      Glad you like it.
      Actually after reference copying, you just have to ctrl+shift click on the parameter you want to change, that breaks the reference just for this parm and your set to go.
      All the other nodes will still update whic is what you want. That should be the same in all Houdini versions.
