Pattern not showing in Blender 2.8

Hi there,
I am trying to follow the tutorial however I don't seem to get any shapes as you have.
I have gotten this far in the video, still nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?

I have tried both eevee and cycles, both show this black material
I opened a new file to start from scratch, just in case.

    Hi ggarethgr  , your node setup is looking good so far :)

    If you didn't scale the plane up in the edit mode, select it, hit Ctrl+A and apply the scale. Alternatively, you can also change the X,Y and Z scale of your mapping node. The plane you're using seems to be smaller than the spacing so hopefully this will fix your issue, let me know!

    Awesome, thank you for the info I will try again and let you know where I get to ;)

    I got  it working thank you, instead of the subtract, I added an Add by accident.
    All working now on a flat plane with scale applied ;)

    Great that you figured it out ! Have fun with the remaining of the tutorial :) the Add operation would work as well, it’s just a matter of preference : with Substract, the positive value shift the texture to the right, which is to me more intuitive.
