I wrote up a guide for authoring Nanite Assembly USD files in Unreal Engine 5.7. Part 1 covers the requisite structure of the USD scene.

Cheers! Star trails are just a simple niagara system, particles pushes by constant wind, scaled by speed, material uses two ramps to get the colour fringing and then a camera depth cull so they appear only behind the ship

Yeah created in Houdini, definitley feel like I'd want to split it up into high res parts if i were to do a new version! haha not super happy with some of the windows and also it isnt super screen accurate

this survey HAD to have been made by someone who doesn't want AI in discord because there are clear ways to actually express how much you don't want it as a user
doubt the decision makers will actually listen but worth filling it out anyway, it's super fast

Yeah but it is just in PCG land, houdini that data is accessable from anything , you cna be like i want to source a pyro sim from points and carry over attributes to that said pyro sim, or like i want to vellum sim some curves and then scatter points on them and then conform them to a surface

hmm probably a major one would be VDB / volume ops, but the main killer thing with Houdini is workflow, everything can talk to each other easily, point attributes travel everywhere etc.
