Wrote a function into our capture tool, that compares the SRTs of the maya scene camera to that of the published usd camera. If any difference is detected it uploads a note onto shotgun alerting the animator & supes that the artist has changed the camera.
Its tough tracking user changes if the dont alert anyone, or if the director asks for a sneaky change.... even though we lock the cameras in the maya scene.

We're wrapping set dressing today, always sad to see a team go! I've had so much fun diving deep into usd and the power it brings to set dressing via instancing. Built some very rad tools along the way too! Excited to start RnD'ing new tools & workflows.

The maya-usd plugin really needs some simple tweaks. I guess I should go make some issues on the github, for example dont load the entire usd when creating a stage from file, only load/stream the data needed. Currently when you load a usd it will default to proxy purpose, but still load all the render purpose data along with textures even though it cant display those shaders in the viewport. It should only stream render data in if I switch to that purpose.

#OpenUSD is a recognition that we need a better way to transfer money, but also that the wealthy are scared we will route around them.

OK - the gloves are OFF!
New potentially powerful rival to USDC and USDT. New StableCoin "OpenUSD" launches with the backing of heavy hitters Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, Coinbase, Google >> 140 companies in total.
KEY differences:
- Open USD allows businesses to mint and redeem tokens without fees
- reserve income will be returned to participating partners
- governance will be shared among members https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/06/30/circle-slides-8-as-stripe-coinbase-and-blackrock-back-rival-stablecoin-networkAnnouncement is here: https://joinopenstandard.com/blog/introducing-open-usd #Crypto #StableCoin #USDC #USDT #OpenUSD #CryptoCurrencies #Visa #MasterCard #Stripe #BlackRock #Coinbase #Google

#Circle’s stock price fell nearly 16% after #Coinbase, #Visa, #Mastercard, #Stripe, #BlackRock, and over 140 other companies launched #OpenUSD, a new stablecoin designed to address industry complaints. Open USD, backed by a diverse group of partners, aims to provide a shared digital #paymentsinfrastructure with free minting and redemption, partner-shared reserve earnings, and a governance board from partner companies. https://decrypt.co/372429/circle-stock-dives-coinbase-blackrock-visa-open-usd-stablecoin?eicker.news #tech #media #news

And no matter how cool we believe it is to use Gantry on macOS, there is an extra magic when playing with it on iOS https://youtube.com/shorts/Qw0Le0k0zA4

Gantry can convert .gltf, .fbx, .obj, .ply formats to .usd(z). It does this natively and on the device, so you are already working on .usd by the time you see the model in the viewport.

🚀 NVIDIA’s new Cosmos Transfer lets developers stream massive synthetic datasets across the Omniverse, scaling physical AI training for robotics and autonomous systems. OpenUSD‑based pipelines mean faster, reproducible simulations. Dive into how this could reshape research and benchmarks. #NVIDIAOmniverse #SyntheticData #PhysicalAI #OpenUSD

Что такое OpenUSD, или Как подружить Blender и Git
Недавно автор решил попробовать что-то помоделить в Blender. На данный момент он ещё только начинает осваиваться в 3D, но имеет небольшой опыт в разработке ПО, преимущественно с использованием Git, потому хотел бы и тут избежать версионирования проектов в духе "projectN_final5_20260305_fix3.blend", который подразумевается при "инкрементальном" сохранении. На первый взгляд ничего сложного тут быть не должно: в Blender работа ведётся с набором точек-координат-чисел и их связей, настроек модификаторов, ссылок на текстуры и референсы и т.п.; потому всё это должно иметь некоторую стандартизированную структуру, возможно упакованную в ZIP-архив. Файл проекта .blend же является таким ZIP-архивом, ведь так? Распакуем его и просто занесём в Git? Неправильно! В данном случае придётся прибегнуть к помощи фреймворка OpenUSD. Но для начала хотелось бы рассказать о том, какие проблемы он был изначально призван решить и какими ограничениями обладает.

Heute, zum 12ten Post der Runde 6 meiner #100DaysOfCode Serie, kurz #r6d12 habe ich eine weitere #awesome Sammlung nach #codeberg migriert. Ist jetzt sozusagend awesome & deligthful^^.
Der ein oder andere weiß, das ich mehr als nur ein faible für #VR, #AR, 360° Aufnahmen, #SocialVR habe. In diesem Zusammenhang ist als "Nebenprodukt" für ein Funding-Proposal die Sammlung
Awesome & Delightful Opensphere
entstanden.

OpenUSD and NVIDIA Halos are boosting robotaxi safety by generating high‑fidelity synthetic data for SimReady testing. The new pipeline lets autonomous vehicles train on multimodal inputs in NVIDIA Omniverse, accelerating validation while keeping the stack open‑source. Dive into the research & benchmarks to see how this synergy could reshape safe self‑driving. #OpenUSD #NVIDIAHalos #Robotaxi #SyntheticData

Tonight (9/3/2025 at 6pm EDT) we're going to try to get something working with the new Shot Builder tools. There won't be anything grand or expansive shown off, but we'll do our best to do something interesting with them.

I hope you or your kids or students can “try your hand” at making an animated 3D movie and let us know how it goes! With our Movie Maker 3D app and today’s iPhones, iPads and Macs, you can make animated movies anywhere and everywhere.
https://apps.apple.com/app/movie-maker-3d/id538150047
Getting good hand movements and holding other 3D models in a character’s hands has been one of our most requested Movie Maker 3D features. After a few scrapped prototypes, UI testing and dusting off more 3D matrix math, SIMDs and quaternions, we finally got it working pretty well.
Mapping, naming bones and retargeting animation key frames to handle the differences between avatar and anime skeletons was lots of fun. Then there was the other side of the problem to create the Animated Activity templates user experience so it’s easy for anyone to get started without knowing any of that complexity.

Okay this is an exciting update to #blender in 4.5. The ability to load data directly into #geometrynodes
However I am not seeing #OpenUSD yet, but if these formats are a stepping stone to importing and manipulating USD data in geonodes then we are soon going to be making huge leaps in blender 💪 -

I find it very strange that #Maya supports creation of and importing of a UsdPreviewSurface yet #Arnold simply renders it as pink. Yet Arnold via #Houdini as has no problem interpreting the UsdPreviewSurface. #Blender too has no issue with the UsdPreviewSurface.
Just to note I created the file I am importing into Maya, in Maya to start with. If you use a UsdPreviewSurface it renders pink, but if you use a 'StandardShader' (not aiSS) it converts to UsdPreview upon export.

Tonight (02/19/2025 at 6pm EST) we're going to take a look at Solaris workflows, and talk about some processes that could help you improve your USD workflows. We'll also leave a bit of time for some Solaris/USD Q&A.

Blender 4.4 will import/export OpenUSD with displacements (Feb'25).
Realtime rendering with Meshes/SubD and Displacements is currently not supported on Apple, but it's mentioned in the feature list since (over) a year now. And I already saw unintended(?) exports from ObjectCapture with "unused" .exr displacement maps early 2023.
It looks to me as WWDC25 will bring it to iOS 19 and visionOS 3.
I also hope for <model>. -
Super exciting #openUSD news - v24.11 is released! Lots of great changes:
