Hi

I a a little stuck and wondered if anyone else has cracked how to make a layered shader in Karma.

The only info I can find is for Mantra.


https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/shade/layering.html [www.sidefx.com]

I can add two Karma principled shaders into a layerMix but have no idea how to pipe that into a collect/assign the shader for Karma to see it. Is there any workflow for this?

Best

I think you can still combine Karma shaders like that in a way.



Just put your principled shaders inside a material builder along with layermix and layerunpack.
