Good evening everyone. I'm just getting started with Redshift with Houdini and finding its a little different than with C4D.

Are there resources for setting up RS materials in Houdini? Can any material become a RS Material?

Thank you

Hi, I find the easiest way is to use RS Material Builder. Any node you can use inside it is compatible with Redshift. ie if you try building a material outside it, you'll have access to *all* Houdini nodes, most of which won't work with Redshift. (which makes it harder to find/use/learn RS nodes)

If you are simply adding a texture set to the material, you might want to "edit parameter interface" of the RS Material Builder to promote parameters to the top level. This is also how you'd link the textures to OGL.
