i dont compare redshift/ arnold etc directly, because for private projects i don't care if have to wait 1 minute or 4 minutes for a rendering, but i love my flexibility and quality of a renderer.... -

you can't compare anrold to a only-gpu renderer.. also arnoldGPU is under no obligation to compete with it. arnoldCPU is easy-to-use heavy-duty production renderer. arnoldGPU goal is to have 100% features and flexibility of arnoldCPU. (similar what pixar with renderman does) redshift/octane be always faster. but arnold GPU takes no compromise in flexibility and quailty. not blackbox shader for volumes etc.. but otherwise arnoldGPU is making huge steps forwards! SSS and hair is gettign superfast, still volumes is really slow. -

light cone in Arnold with athmos volumetric : -
nope, and its a waste of time like the whole Solaris part. having Cycles in Houdini is cool! but the problem is Solaris, it's un-usable and so buggy, it's not fun.

redshift How can I speed up the “Object loading” part of the render in Houdini?

there is not much you can do, if you tried rs proxy already, 2GB geo / frame is a lot for GPU rendering. that's the downside of GPU rendering. that's why vfx industry doesn't use GPU rendering at all. -
for heavy geo, you better get much moooooore GPU Ram, and even then the first time pixel will be slow (time compile it and move it to GPU mem.). that's why CPU rendering is still a think ;-)

aces is a fancy way to compress dark areas more so have more color range bright areas to able to display on your screen. if the new apple display for example your got lot better color range then ACES. ACES = a way to squeeze color values as much as possible from a linear to a rec19 space (colorspace of computer displays).
-
like all render engines. all renderer calculates in linear space. there should never baked ACES-colorspace in exr lfiles. exr should always linear for maximum color range control. you should learn about the linear workflow concept
-
you have copy/instance of polygon object, setp stepscale to a value (0.1,1, 10) depending on your scene scale. and assign arnold volume shader. need be a "closed surface". or better, use the water with regular and set "transmission depth" this give correct "waterdepth feel". "
-
want do mean with Basic liquid shader ? *edit ah right you totally can do that in Arnold. but in Arnold you can do the real thing, physical correct shading.
