- Manually creating materials for lots of models is a very tedious process. This video goes over how to automatically create materials in Redshift for KitBash3D models inside of Houdini 19.

Cool stuff Stormz! Yeah as others said, some people would python the crap out of it. But I think this way is also very relevant (and reassuring) for the regular "everyday artist" to see that it can be set up without programing skills. A little bit of prep work can go a long way in Houdini.
Absolutely. The beauty of Houdini is there are so many ways to do things. As you said not everyone has knowledge to make that in python. Even if you do it probably would take about the same time or longer to code. You could also make this a preset and have it ready for any set of models with little work
@@InsideTheMindSpace i really appreciated your version. Thanks. 🙏👍
With a little bit of vex you can go further and have a generic material that works for all models. The name of the material is in the imported shop parh. If you substring that you can drive a string param in the material that selects the right texture for you.
Specifically for KitBash3D models yes. I wanted to demonstrate how you could do it for any set of models and how you could set textures up yourself if you were making a bunch of models.
Hey thank you very much for sharing this.
One question, since you dabbled in some Karma as well, recreating your material work fine, but I have an issue with the opacity.
I wondered if there is a clever way set the opacity to 100% if no file was found?
This was very helpful! Nice work.
Glad you found it useful
thanks, im typing the path but the HDA not loading anything...19.5
Thank You very much!
Happy to help
Will this works for others renders engins?
Yeah this type of setup would work for any render engine. Obviously just use the nodes for that render engine
I would be tempted to write a Python script which creates all of the materials automatically.
You could do that as well but it would probably take you just as long or longer than this. You could easily set this as a preset and then have it ready for any set of models with little work
