Blinn shader as default for new geos

[Houdini7]

Hi, 

I would like to adjust the default shader of new geos to be blinn with custom color and reflection. How can I do this in houdini? Thanks in advance!

Hi Andy,

if you don't get an answer here, it's mostly because you did not specify your question sufficiently.

Okay, i will try again.

 

When you create a surface object (like a box), it seems to have a default shader (is it phong?). I would like to change this. Whenever I create a surface object I want that houdini uses a blinn shader (material) for the surface or other shader with some custom set parameters. How can I achieve this? Thanks

You can manipulate the viewport shader by pressing the 'D' key with your cursor on the viewport. In the "material" tab you will find the typical settings.

Thanks, I overlooked this tab, hehe.
