While still being cautious about the use of Solaris for commercial projects, there's one interesting use case - lighting highgly reflective objects. Solaris makes this a breeze by offering a specular placement mode for lights.

In this tutorial, Mo explores using Solaris and Redshift's current beta to light an old school iPad 2.


This is the iPad 3D model used:  https://www.blendswap.com/blend/6415

this is real cool but damn houdini kept crashing troughout this whole thing for me, specially when trying to refresh the view, think will have to wait till the RS builds get more stable or something

I did not experience any crashes, using Houdini 18.0.566, Redshift 3.0.28 and nvidia driver 456.38

Just FYI tried this in H19 and still not updating material assignments when renaming.
