What problem does it solve?

Create a low-detail proxy mesh sibling for a high-resolution USD subtree so downstream tools can swap render vs. proxy representations efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Proxy generation with three strategies: decimate (merge + Topology Simplification), boundingBoxWhole (single AABB), or boundingBoxPerMesh (AABB per leaf mesh).
  • USD purpose wiring: tags the source with render and the proxy with proxy so Hydra/usdview and DCC pipelines pick the right representation automatically.
  • Optional variant set swapping: author a displayPurpose variant set to flip which representation renders without duplicating assets.
  • Pre-flight safety and verification guidance: includes validation points for missing prims/meshes, existing proxy collisions, edit-target layering issues, and post-run checks (existence, purpose, vertex-count sanity).

Quick Start

Ask your agent to generate a decimated proxy at /World/Asset_proxy and set source purpose to render and proxy purpose to proxy by running the create-proxy skill with sourcePrimPath set to /World/Asset.
