Overview

Falling Books Using Vellum and Solaris is a free Houdini 20.5 scene by Dmitrii Vlasenko in the SideFX Content Library. It simulates a pile of falling books with Vellum cloth, then assembles and lights the shot in Solaris/USD before rendering with Karma, serving as a worked example of lighting and scene assembly in a USD pipeline.

The 240 MB zip (book_vellum.zip) is a direct download from SideFX under the Standard License with no login required. A good reference for combining cloth simulation with a Solaris lighting workflow.
