In the traditional way I would render curves in Arnold, I would select the Geo node containing my curves and go to Arnold -> Shapes -> Curves -> Mode and set it to Thick.

In Solaris, I used a Sop Import to browse the Geo Node (with the thick setting) but when I render, It looks like Ribbons (instead of Thick). Any idea how to solve this?

...Ok, I found part of the solution in this video:

But, I don't like how he uses one sopimport per asset. Isn't there a ways to import all assets in one node?

Hi there!

In OBJ context, I'm using an Instance node with a point scatter with the s@instancefile attrib pointing to the .ass files.

...How can I replicate this workflow in Solaris (using Arnold)? Do I save each of my assets as a USD file (instead of .ass) and use a Point Wrangle in the Instance LOP to set some point attribute to get those asset usd files? I'm looking for tips since I don't know much about Solaris...
