Hi, I just started learning HE,
and some of my learning material were based on 18 or early 19,

since I'm using 19.5 indie,
I don't know whether there are difference by versions,
or those nodes are simply disabled and cannot use anymore?

by the way,
why is my looks so different than the source?





How can I settle this so my nodes will be exactly the same as the tutorials？

Thanks in advance.

Hi there. Houdini is always trying to provide the best user experience with as much optimize as possible at the time. Those node you described are old and pull more resources to compute the same result you can get from the new nodes. For example, if you use the copy stamp vs the copy to point nodes and measure the timing in the performance monitor tab you can see in some cases the copy to point node is 10x faster.

As for the interface, if you press 'D' in the scene view you can change the settings and customize it however you like.

Hope this helps.
