what has your experience with solaris/karma been? April 27, 2024, 1:56 p.m.

Can't agree more with the many points mentioned here.
Animation in Solaris is a nightmare, even when all I need is a very basic camera rig it can be way too involved to be useful.
And not being allowed to look through the stage camera in a SOP edit node(I do realize they belong to different contexts) is such a bummer and makes creative workflow as most inefficient as possible, if no more complicated roundabout way is further involved.
And no viewport position handler in a null node just like /obj is another no-go.
And the scene interpretation happening each time I jump between the Solaris and SOP context slows down the viewport.
Karma is great but I pretty much gave it up due to lots of pain and lessons learned in the bitter way mentioned above.
Solaris might be insanely powerful if you get 5 different departments in charge of different aspects of the same scene but it's really no fun for solo artists who need to finish everything by themselves in one hip file.
