Free Houdini HDA: ez wetmap Copernicus Wet Map Baker with Example Files (evanrudefx)
Preview from the original source by evanrudefx

Overview

evanrudefx shares ez wetmap, a set of Houdini HDAs for creating wet maps, on Gumroad and Patreon. This version is a Copernicus-based left-to-right process that bakes a wetmap texture within seconds, and the older geometry-based wetmap solver is still included as a separate, updated HDA; the HDAs are open for editing.

The Gumroad download (218 KB) contains the HDAs and example files in the HDALC (Indie) format, and the creator notes that using them in Houdini FX downgrades the licence to Indie and that the tools have not yet been tested in Houdini 22. It is free on Gumroad as pay-what-you-want from $0.
