about Pixar USD #529

Does LuxCore have plans to support the Pixar USD format?

Dade916 commented 3 years ago

No one has ever asked for USD support before so it is not planned at the moment.

You can somewhat load a USD scene in LuxCore by using Blender support for USD.

@Dade916 the USD formate may be a very good way to overcome the export problems for the addon, theoretically it should have / be an open gate of communication and make the export process to any engine that is prepared for it completely seamless. But for that Blender should be prepared (and it's being prepared), so this will be possible in the future, and if LuxCore supports USD the communication could be done instantly as far as I understand

I'd like to revive the discussion by introducing the USD hydra delegate topic. I would really like to see a hdLuxcore delegate (with MaterialX support) and I think this would help a lot to make this great renderer more accessible.

I currently work on a project that heavily uses USD and it would be great to have an additional choice of renderer besides the available hdRpr, hdCycles (beta) etc.
