I'm new to Houdini and following this tutorial: https://vimeo.com/126886471 [vimeo.com]

At timestamp 30:30, the instructor uses an older version of Houdini to access a preset inside the material shader builder node. Is there any equivalent to this in the newest version of Houdini? I would like to be able to continue with the tutorial, but I'm not sure how to get the same results.

Thanks for any help!

Yes there are still presets, however the one in the video no longer exists as a preset for the material builder. It was converted to a separate material HDA called “classic shader,” available in a matnet such as /mat. Old shop-based materials are deprecated, and no longer featured in the material preset palette.
