[Bf-usd] Blender USD importer status

[Francesco Siddi]

Hi all,

I’d like to thank the team at NVIDIA for making the USD Attic Sample file
available under a CC-BY license: https://developer.nvidia.com/usd

This files is often used to benchmark USD support and compatibility in
DCCs. Because of the new license, it can now be more tightly integrated in
the Blender testing processes.

Regards,
Francesco

Hi all,

The USD import patch is in the final stages of review
https://developer.blender.org/D10700. While there has been lots of
technical feedback on the patch, I haven’t see much functional testing by
artists or pipeline TDs.

This is a great moment for anyone interested in the topic to get involved,
test the patch and import your USD files, and ideally to share USD test
cases to be published and hosted on blender org.

Test builds are available at https://builder.blender.org/download/patch/ (look
for D10700).

Before or right after the merge, the Blender user manual will also be
updated.

Regards,
Francesco

Hi,

Here is a link to the meetings notes of the latest USD status update:
https://devtalk.blender.org/t/2021-04-15-blender-usd-i-o/18413

TL;DR: USD importer is under review at https://developer.blender.org/D10700
and as soon as Michael is done addressing notes, it should be merged into
master.

Regards,
Francesco

Hello everyone,



As an update of the current USD importer status:



We currently have two branches for importer development, Tangent
Animation’s ta-usd-import (
https://github.com/tangent-opensource/blender/tree/ta-usd-import) and
usd-importer-T81257 (
https://github.com/blender/blender/tree/usd-importer-T81257).   Our plan is
to combine these branches into a single code base, to consolidate features
and avoid duplicate efforts going forward.



To that end, I’ve recently created a new usd-importer-T81257-merge branch
that represents a merge of selected features from usd-importer-T81257 on
top of ta-usd-import.  I will send a follow up email when the merge is
complete (hopefully within the next couple of weeks), at which point we
hope to continue with a thorough review process to facilitate an eventual
upstream merge of the combined code.



As always, feedback and suggestions are welcome at any time.



Thanks,

Michael
