System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Provides a cohesive, scriptable workflow for working with Pixar USD files by wrapping the OpenUSD toolset (usdcat, usdview, usdchecker, usdrecord, usdzip, usdresolve, usdtree, usddiff, usdstitch, usdstitchclips, usdGenSchema, usdgenschemafromsdr) into a unified CLI to inspect, convert, validate, render, and package USD assets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Format conversion and inspection: convert between .usd/.usda/.usdc/.usdz and inspect stage hierarchies.
  • Validation and packaging: validate USD assets for AR delivery and zip/unzip assets into .usdz packages.
  • Rendering and asset management: render frames offline, diff stages, resolve asset paths, and stitch value clips for complex scenes.
  • Frontline examples: Imagine a production artist converting a binary USD to ASCII for diffs, validating a scene for Apple Quick Look, and packaging assets for handoff.

Quick Start

Run the USD CLI wrapper to convert a USD scene from binary to ASCII.
