Houdini - Material Wizard Free 3D model

Menu controlled shelf tool to import, build, arrange and setup materials in Houdini. Focused in ease of use and reusability across sessions (can always be edited).

Capacities

• Add/remove texture nodes for the most common texture types, while retaining the capacity to dynamically update their texture file

• Automatically connect the textures to the shader node, or correction node if present

• Add/remove the most common correction node for the particular type of texture (color correction or remap). Normal map node (“mtlxnormalmap”) comes by default

• Automatic dynamic conscious rearranging of the nodes in material network

• Apply the correct color space interpretation for the type of texture in a typical ACES configuration

• Apply the correct signature (float, color, vector3) for each texture

• Change the name of both the tool and the material subnet

Ease of use

• Dynamic rearranging of nodes. As they’re added or removed, they automatically adjust to have the shader node as their vertical axis

• Dynamic indentation of nodes. If the nodes are of the same class of texture (Coat, Coat color, Coat roughness) they’re grouped in a different horizontal level to either the texture node above or below

• Persistent usage beyond a session. You can open up a saved .hip with an active tool in it, and it will remain functional, as well as transferred to the next .hip you save it as

• Two ways of deleting the tool: either delete the tool using the built-in “delete” button, where all created nodes get erased, or manually delete the control node and keep all created nodes

• Change the name of both the material subnet and the control node through a built-in name text input

• Detailed documentation, help commentary on parameters and easy setup

• Works on both Karma Material Builder and generic USD Material X Builder

• Any supplementary correction node gets deleted when its input texture node does so
