i think the idea is you can assign any part of a network to an object so you can drag the principled shader from /mat onto an object or you can dive inside and and assign stuff from inside instead. It's one big network where multiple shader can be joined up at different levels (i think).... The material palette seems slightly redundant to me so far, You can get the the internals of the principled shader by right clicking and selecting allow editing of contents (but then it gets scary)

If I have two shaders, say a glass and a liquid, if I go into either of the Disney castle icon shaders they are both on each other. And is the principled shader more "black boxed" now, and I should do all layering in this top level?

You need to go to the new /mat context instead of /shop. On 01/03/2017 16:39, Laurence Dodd wrote: This is a Houdini question, I feel too stupid to ask on the Houdini forum. I am just trying to set up a layered shader in Mantra, if I look at this tutorial https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/curvature-vop/ it looks so easy, but when I go to SHOP as she does I get no option for principled shader, I have to use a material Shader builder node, it's all different, and doesn't work nearly as well. My main problem is that the shader puts my texture one to each poly, it does have UV's. Arrgh this is taking me too long. Am I missing something basic?
