Simple question about Materials and Karma

[Jack16277]

Hello,

I'm very new with Houdini, so the question might sounds silly to some, but I am trying to apply some Texture images through the Lopnet.

This is how it looks in the viewport, but when I dive into the Lopnet, I apply the material but it won't show anything.

Could I ask what am I missing here?

 

Thank you

You need to assign your material to your geometry. Check this video :

at 4mn36s. He explain how to assign from materiallibrary node.

You have 2 options: Assign from matreriallibrary node or add an AssignMaterial node.

Thank you for the solution, it did work!

 

Although now I am having somehow a similar issue

 

 

 

I have tried different forums/reddit, but I can't find solutions.

 

I am working on a procedural landscape, and I am using Karma (I am following this tutorial https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/the-complete-a-z-terrain-handbook/)

 

I have two/three things that I would like to ask, but this one is probably the most problematic:

 

I have created a rock with external softwares, mesh and textures. I have applied the textures creating the material and it seems to work well with Mantra and Karma.

 

But when I use the Copy to Point, the texture disappears if I use Karma (it works in Mantra)

 

MANTRA:

KARMA:

 

Forgot to mention that the textures works in Karma before the Copy to Point!

 

Could it be a bug, therefore would it be better to switch to Mantra? I hope not since the script need Karma to generate the terrain (textures + displacement comes from COps and it shows only a flat plane in Mantra)

 

 

Thank you again for your help (I am a bit clueless at the moment)
