Hey guys! Here is a really cool free Houdini Ramp Manager HDA by Nick Taylor for easy management of custom Ramps you make to use and re-use in your scenes. It makes it very easy to save and load presets and import/export the ramps out of SOPs in your scene. It works with both color and spline ramps. This is a very useful tool for saving your custom color ramps for shading terrains in COPs. (I go over this in Part 2 of my Terrain tutorial)

Houdini Ramp Manager [Digital Asset]

Ramp Manager is a Python-based HDA which allows you to save colour and spline ramp presets for reuse across Houdini sessions. You can forward ramps from the asset onto any other node and perform some common ramp manipulations. I've personally used it to save visualisers (heat-map, blackbody etc), spline ease functions and many project-specific colour schemes.
