Now that we have all the pieces we need, of our scene, we are going to take the plunge into Solaris. It's my first time using it as well, so let's share knowledge if someone knows a better way to do things, I would love to know it too. But these steps are what worked for my shot and I'd like to share with you my process. We load in our scene in LOPs, add lights, do material lookdev, use Render Gallery, Light Mixer, Light Linker, Karma LOP and also Render Manager. There's a lot of stuff and oh yeah, Velocity Blur!! Let's get to it!
