Loving H19, especially all the Solaris improvements. MaterialX is much more extensive than I expected. Question: in the preview video there is a MaterialX ramp node with color visualization and the presenter talks about SideFX designing that feature. I can't seem to find it anywhere. All the MatX ramp nodes I found are bare bones and not very useable.

I can't really doublecheck since I dont have access to H19 at the moment, but if it's not in the current one there is a chance that it will appear in one of the upcoming daily builds
like this entry could mean that

I can`t figure out how to get the color ramp to actually work.

in my mind plugging the noise into the ramp and the ramp into the color should do the thing but i keep having just the noise as color.

Can annyone tell me what I`m doing wrong ?

Last time I checked mtlx ramps were limited to 10 keys
I don't know how you got so many without getting an error, but maybe try a simple 2 key ramp first
