Could you build this?

No It is a render delegate that integrates Unreal Engine's Lumen and Path Tracer with Houdini Solaris inside one process. This is deep C++ graphics-engine work across two large proprietary codebases.

What it would actually take: The build requires writing a Hydra render delegate in C++ against the Unreal and USD/Hydra APIs, plus synchronizing scene data, materials, and lighting between engines. It needs graphics engineering expertise, large SDKs, and long debugging cycles on GPU rendering.
