The Role of APEX, Solaris and USD in a Small Studio Environment

When Frame48 became a 100% Houdini studio, USD and Solaris became the backbone of the pipeline by design, integrated across every department.

A client note landed on an asset, or an animation tweak went into a shot, and it propagated across the project with a single click, no more going shot by shot to pull new updates.
