I'm working on material building for USD but I'm stuck at one point. I am currently using ‘mtlxtriplanarprojection‘ and thinking of using hexTiling to get rid of Repeat. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to connect the nodes because there is no `texcord` input like `mtlximage`.
Can someone please help me how does it work? if there are any sample files, would be very helpful.

Thanks!

the hextiling has a triplanar mode, you don't use both.

Does it? I don't see any box to import maps. I am very new when it comes to houdini materialx, if you could elaborate on this, that would be great.

You'll want the Karma Hex-Tiled Triplanar node, which has a map selection.

You only see it inside the Karma Material Builder I think.
