Help with Shader Mixer please

I have just started to learn to use Shader Mixer, and have followed both Carnite's tutorial video and the Daz Studio video where he makes the crazy pavement shader.

These tutorials are for DS3A, so I can follow them as I have DS3A. However if I try to follow them using DS4 there are some bricks that are not listed.

Two I am looking for are Math2 and Displacement Normal. Where can I find these or is there an equivalent brick I can use instead?

Also, if I make a shader using Shader Mixer in DS3A will it work in DS4?

Are there any other tutorials that teach the basics of Shader Mixer? I have the free one from Daz but that just confused me!

Have tried searching the forum, but couldn't find anything.

    Thanks for the link.

    Why didn't that show up when I did a search?

    For reasons known only to themselves they renamed several bricks, Math2 is now Binary Operation, and if by Displacement Normal you meant Displace-Standard then it's now called DS Default Displacement, and can be found under "Functions > Geometric > Special".

    If the shader works in DS3 then it should still work in DS4, at least all of mine do.

    I just did a forum search for 'Math2', and it turned up for me, it seems to work well for me now.
