Alex Q

Hi,
Can the Material Variation node access Primvars above the instancer, or do the materials absolutely need to be created after the instancer? Currently, I create and modify my materials for my models beforehand. My Primvars are within the USD itself. So I'm not sure how to handle this. Thank you.

Hello everyone,
I was questioning myself to how to blend USD animated trees.
The trees come from Speedtree, two usd's , two different wind, i am looking to some way to trig slow to fast wind somehow, my polygons number is the same for both trees, just wind change.
- I am not sure i could achieve it at the USD level, probably better with alembic but alembic is slow in my side in solaris or i need to play with sop create exclusively and then bake it at the end?

I know USD workflow is quite complicated but i would love to try on USD only.
I've tried the blend node in solaris but without sucess.


And of course i guess if i build my full tree on Houdini and play with vellum I could achieve it.

Thank you.
Alex
