Here at Superprod we are doing the surfacing in Houdini. The result is exported into USD.
And we would like to get the surfacing into Maya (the USDPreviewSurface). This is the case for simple usage (we have the USDPreviewSurface and connected Textures), but not for more complexe cases. Example with a primvar-reader node:
In Houdini I setup something like this:
Then I export a USD, and I have something like this:
And in Maya, if I import this USD, I have this in the hypershade:
The primvar-reader is missing...
Also, the primvar (here my_primvar) is not "translated" into the Maya world. I know that this topic has been discussed in various threads (#896 for example). But I do not know if a direction has been decided about this?
At first, I would expect to find the USDPreviewSurfaces and basic set of nodes into Maya. Do you have any work in progress linked to this?
Thank you all for your amazing work here!
Cheers,
