Updated USD Support in V-Ray 5, Update 1 BETA builds

[yolov]

Hey everyone,

In our latest 5.10.20 builds we've added a few additions to our initial USD support and we've fixed bugs.

In-memory edits can now be rendered with V-Ray.
This means that when you load a USD file and do edits in the Maya session, you can render them even before saving the edits back to a USD file.

Rendering animated shader parameters from USD files are now also supported.

We've also fixed a few issues where:
*) UDIM textures from USD now load correctly;
*) Fixed wrong render of the faceVarying normals interpolation USD token;
*) Fixed warnings when loading LayeredTex from USD;
*) Various other minor fixes and improvements.


Grab a fresh build from: https://nightlies.chaosgroup.com/mai...e/stable_5.1.2
Happy testing, and let us know your feedback!

Hi,

Is there any support for USD on macOS. It not being supported wasn't in the released info?\

Thanks.

The beta builds didn't have USD support for macOS, but the release builds support USD and Maya 2022.
You can grab a build from our website's download section.
