The What and Why of Optimizing Solaris Performance | Mark Tucker | Houdini Horizon

Starting with a deep dive into how LOP nodes create and manage USD stages, this masterclass discusses how to maximize the performance of your Solaris networks. From writing new LOP nodes (in C++, python, VEX, or HDAs), to writing primitive patterns, organizing your LOP networks, and driving the LOP viewport. This will include low level explanations of why these suggestions will improve performance so you can generalize the specific suggestions and apply them more broadly. Mark Tucker is a Senior Software Architect at SideFX, where he has worked for over twenty years. For the past six years he has been leading the team developing Solaris, Houdini's native USD look development, layout, and lighting context.
