The day 5 node is the Light Mixer LOP. This node helps you manage all your lights and make key lookdev decisions.



Here is a Scene File [media.sidefx.com] with some examples from the video.

This node is really helpful!

Modelled in Maya, stylized Hair in Houdini.
Lighting with Karma. Love Solaris it rocks.
My very first Mardini entry. Hope its Ok.

So few lights, but so much Polyhaven, for just one node...

Day 05 - Light Mixer

Day 05

Here's my entry for day 5, light mixer. Modeling, shading and rendering in Houdini.

Day 05 - Run!

I started with modeling (a new idea, tbc) during the layout day but did not have enough free time to complete. So I completed it today as my entry for the lightmixer day. This is my first ever use of Solaris and Karma so nice job SideFX for organizing this challenge - it is excuse I needed to finally give a go at it. Too bad Karma is still quite basic (nothing special really compared to any other renderer) but the Solaris workflow is super intuitive and way better than using Takes!

PS: I had to render in Karma XPU as Karma CPU did not take into account my MTLX mix node (for the label mask of the crayons). Any idea anyone?
