TOTAL DURATION: 2h 26m 32s

Learn how to use the Solaris Lookdev, Layout and Lighting tools to create a market scene using existing assets. The Solaris environment converts everything into USD [Universal Scene Description] which is an open source initiative created by PIXAR. The Solaris/LOPS context allows you to work with USD natively using procedural nodes to manage key USD concepts.

You will learn how one artist can publish USD layers or files that can be picked up by the next artist. Changes can be added non-destructively to set up a scene or refine a shot. The way USD is used in this lesson is for artists who need to benefit from its power without getting mired in its technicalities.

This lesson includes a step-by-step PDF which you can use to follow along the lesson supported by video tutorials.
