Eclipse Arcs MaterialX Shader

[IMPORTANT] : For some reason, it seems that it crashes on Karma XPU for everyone using it. I think you should know this before buying the hipfile. Everything works fine with KarmaCPU though

Update : Since the latest build of Houdini (20.5.299), the KarmaXPU render doesn't crash anymore. But this method I'm using doesn't seem to work with KarmaXPU anyway. So you will still need to use KarmaCPU.

Hey! Here's a RnD done in Houdini 20, rendered in Karma. The goal was to make solar flares only using MaterialX shaders. The visual is inspired by Dune 2, and the technique is similar to this one by Samuel Krug on Blender https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gahQhxuSV24 Hope you like the end result!

-> Make sure you work at least in Houdini 20 or more recent versions. Not any version before, otherwise it will simply crash.
