I downloaded the latest stable (2.71) after seeing a slightly older tutorial on smoke in cycles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSiV5gg_lCs).

After adding a mesh and then hitting Space to add "Quick Smoke", I cannot get the smoke domain in the node editor to allow me to add a Volume Scatter like the tutorial. As a matter of fact, I can't find any "Attribute" nodes either.

I found volume_scatter in the source code as shader options in the node editor's include files, but I can't seem to get a shader to apply to the quick smoke.

Any ideas on what I'm missing?

Select your smoke domain (not the sphere)

Open the Node editor and make sure you are on the shader node editor, (the Sphere icon on the left). also click on the object material (The cube icon). Enable Use Nodes
