Houdini 20.5 Karma MaterialX Normals/displacement May 31, 2025, 7:47 a.m.
Hi Stu, wiring Normal maps and Dispacement maps can be a little tricky using MaterialX.
1 - Import your images with a MtlX Tiled Image
2 - For the displacement map, change the signature to "Float"
3 - For the Normal map, change the signature to "vector3"
4 - While you can plug the Displacement already, the Normal map needs a MtlX Normal Map Node.
Check the attached image, I really hope this helps!

Hi everyone, first time participating in Mardini!
While I am still waiting for my indie license to be approved, here is my entry for Mardini 2025 Day 2 - furniture.
I used Curves to model the couch and a Vellum sim to make it fluffier, I also used Vellum for the pillows, all textures are from GreyscaleGorilla, rendered in Karma with Denoiser.
Thanks.
I also have a Youtube channel (Node Flow): https://www.youtube.com/@nodeflowhoudini?sub_confirmation=1
