<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Michael,<br>
That's great to hear.<br>
<br>
I kicked our building machines to generate builds for all platforms to help people testing:<br>
<a href="https://builder.blender.org/download/temp-usd-importer-T81257-merge">https://builder.blender.org/download/temp-usd-importer-T81257-merge</a><br>
<br>
If you want to rebuild the branch (or build another branch) yourself in the future it is super simple and quick.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">You can find instructions here: <a href="https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Infrastructure/BuildBot#Branch_Builds">
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Infrastructure/BuildBot#Branch_Builds</a><br>
<br>
Small notes:<br>
* I had to merge master in the branch because the buildbot machines are set to build 2.93 only.<br>
* I pushed the new branch here temp-usd-importer-T81257-merge (also we use the `temp` prefix for short-lived branches)<br clear="all">
