I have never gotten any answer or a reply on this forum so my attempt is a long shot but....does anyone knows hot to make FLIP Tank fluid not be this blobby? I been moving all the sliders in every node and nothing seems to make water looks like water, can this look more realistic and does anyone know what setting makes water looks refined and more like water? Thanks
I shared a file too.

Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Colored folders in Houdini?

@tamte Yes sir SHIFT+O (Network BOX) that's the one I was referring to. Thank you. But very useful to know about Subnet node too. I see I can select nodes and it will put them in the Subnet node for me if I do a shortcut you provided but not sure how otherwise they would be put in there as I tried just to drop them or to append it by connecting. But either way Network Box was the answer for me and I enjoy using shortcuts as much as possible for the sake of speed so I will make sure to remember Shit+O and Shft+C.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.

Beginner question...I tried to find an answer but no luck. I call them folders, Idk what they are actually called but I see some guys have folders of different colors where they can store and organize their nodes. How can these folders be created ?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for the answers guys.
@BrianHanke Thank you for your help. Is KARMA something I need to download from SideFX website ? I can't find it as a node in my ROP network. I was thinking to buy Octane renderer but I don't think it is compatible with Houdini. Or it's only compatible with some high end license or something, not sure I am still trying to understand as I tried to install demo today but seems you can't install 3rd party plugins in Apprentice version of Houdini. I heard of Solaris and Karma but so far didn't look into them as I didn't even know how Mantra works. I assume it is an add-on right? I will go research that immediately. I must speed up these renders
@Tamte Yes I have heard of people having these drastically different experiences. Not sure what .rat format is as I am still new to Houdini but yes my HDRI was 60Mb or so. Not sure If that's considered large as I've used once over 300Mb within 3DsMax in the past.

I am using Apprentice version now (on Win 10 OS) to practice but I am planning on buying a license for Houdini.
What license do I need to get to be compatible with 3rd party renderers like Octane ? Thank you

Hi guys I started using Houdini Apprentice recently to learn Houdini and I don't think Mantra is working properly. I know it's known to be a slow renderer but I have pretty powerful machine here (AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-core processor, GeForce RTX 2080 and 64 GB or RAM) and I am rendering this simple donut scene and it takes like 45 min to render with me lowering all settings down. Only thing is I added depth of field and I am using HDRI but even when I disable it it's the same pretty much. I am coming from 3DsMax and superb Vray5 so of course it will be a big difference in speed but still it should be about 50 times faster than this. Here I will share session file and you can tell me. Again I know everyone is complaining about this but at this point I feel like something is wrong on my end. I am learning Houdini for FXTD stuff and if Mantra can't handle a DONUT I better just install VRay or Octane so I can work properly. Please let me know if there is a bug or something because I don't think this should be this slow. This is a still image at 640x360 ...Imagine video sequence at HD. I don't know just trying to figure it oout.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
