Learn how UsdSuperLayer improves performance when working at scale, reduces slowdowns between node-based and layer-based systems, and unlocks faster, more efficient scene building. Plus, see inside of Katana and the UsdSuperLayer framework to understand the base that allows custom tools to be built upon.
