Simon and Andreas will talk about how RISE switched to a fully USD based pipeline, with Houdini and Solaris at its core. They will discuss the challenges along the way and the tools and workflows they introduced. We will see examples of how assets and shots progress through the new pipeline and how RISE is now able to effectively handle and render more massive set-extensions and larger scale fluid simulations than ever before - all set up in Solaris using MaterialX and rendered with Karma.
