I’m dropping a FREE Intro to Solaris for Houdini very soon 🎉
This is for anyone who’s been confused by LOPs, USD, or Houdini’s rendering workflow and didn’t know where to start.
Solaris can look intimidating at first, but once it clicks, it completely changes how you build, light, and render scenes.
🔥 What this FREE intro will cover:
What Solaris / USD actually is (no confusing jargon)
How Solaris fits into the Houdini pipeline
SOPs → LOPs explained simply
Setting up a basic USD stage
Cameras, lights, and renders inside Solaris
When you should (and shouldn’t) use Solaris
🎯 Who this is for:
Houdini beginners
Artists scared of USD but want to learn it
Character & FX artists who want cleaner renders
Anyone looking to future-proof their Houdini skills
This intro is meant to remove the fear, not overwhelm you. Short lessons, clear explanations, real examples.
💡 This will be FREE for everyone, and it leads directly into deeper Solaris + rendering workflows for those who want to go further.
If you’re already following the rigging series, this pairs perfectly with it.
