What is Open USD ►
Originally developed by Pixar Animation Studios, USD, also referred to as OpenUSD, is more than a file format. It's an open-source 3D scene description used for 3D content creation and interchange among different tools. USD is a high-performance extensible software platform for collaboratively constructing animated 3D scenes, designed to meet the needs of large-scale film and visual effects production. USD enables robust interchange between digital content creation tools with its expanding set of schemas, covering domains like geometry, shading, lighting, and physics. USD’s unique composition ability provides rich and varied ways to combine assets into larger assemblies, enables collaborative workflows so that many creators can work together with ease, and more.
