Building Interoperable 3D Workflows With OpenUSD
Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) is more than just a file format. It’s an open and extensible ecosystem for describing, composing, simulating, and collaborating within 3D worlds.
Invented by Pixar Animation Studios, OpenUSD encompasses a collection of fundamental tools and capabilities that accelerate workflows, teams, and projects. It can be used for creating assets and environments for large-scale, AI-enabled virtual worlds or building the tools to make these worlds possible.
