Compatibility with USD Version 18.09 #107

Closed madoodia closed 6 years ago

madoodia commented 6 years ago

Hi guys I wonder The Current Version of Al_USDMaya is compatible with USD Version 18.09 or we should wait for next release?

thanks

fabal commented 6 years ago

Hi @madoodia , to use AL_USDMaya with USD-0.18.9 (release 18.09) you will need to recompile it but from what I've seen this should be straightforward. We'll update the plugin soon anyway.

@fabal - Have you guys actually actually done the work for getting the code compatible with 18.09? I ask because:

a) due to a massive refactor of all of Pixar's maya code, there's a greater than normal amount of code change b) we've actually already made all the necessary changes (mostly a lot of stuff was renamed), and we were just about to make a PR

pmolodo commented 6 years ago

Actually... my mistake, I forgot that you guys don't generally link against pixar's usdMaya. There aren't too many changes, and what is there mostly relates to a PR we made!

fabal commented 6 years ago

That's correct @elrond79 , for now at least, we don't rely on pixar's usdMaya. USD 18.09 compatibility changes are ready on our side, it's now a matter of releasing everything internally first. Shouldn't be too long until the official release.

Hi - so when looking at this, we realized that our earlier PR actually caused some runtime linkage errors. To fix this, we've made a revised PR that completely segregates / sandboxes the pixar translator for AL proxy shapes into it's own maya plugin. Find it here:

Apologies!
