Original title: Transform pieces but its LOPS (USD layers / point xform LOP tutorial)
Overview
This free Houdini 22 tech-demo file comes from the point and prim, made for a live demo on recreating the SOP Transform Pieces workflow inside Solaris. It shows USD layering for RBD simulations and the Point Transform LOP, which moves fractured pieces using SOP points in a Karma/USD context, and the hip includes a SOP network that rebuilds the demo geometry.
The file is hosted on Gumroad as a pay-what-you-want product, so entering $0 at checkout gets it for free. It is a handy reference for FX artists moving destruction caches into a USD pipeline.
