Camera Backplates #1330

Open ansuter opened 3 years ago

Hi there,

Our team has been trying to find a solution for image backplates. We stumbled across a pr in the usd-interest user group. https://groups.google.com/g/usd-interest/c/hqDb4X5_7cc/m/0UiDPmkOAwAJ

It appears that the backplates were Maya-centric but never checked in, or standardized. I believe image planes in general are not exported but haven't confirmed.

It would be awesome to add backplate support to maya-usd!

As a follow up, have been able to get ImagePlanes from the LumaPictures pr to work via USD 20.11 and mayausd 0.8. That being said, it seems that imagePlanes nested under cameras are not picked up. Seems this could be a result of the camera primwriter ignoring it. Any ideas on how I can make sure children of the camera get written out? Presently I use an external translator dll, wondering if I can do something to override the current camera translator.

Followup: just iterated across the scene hierarchy and picked up the plates that way in python (instead of purely in a translator)
