Is Maya loading USD as a procedural or directly

[hsz]

As the title said, I'm just wondering how Vray loads USD data into Maya, is it using a procedural or directly? Thanks!

Nvm I just read this - make sense

V-Ray for Maya adds a USD procedural that works for loading and rendering USD data, as well as exporting data to USD. Although Maya also supports Hydra, the implementation there needs to further mature before we’re ready to implement Hydra support.

Any news about Hydra support in Maya?

Hey, V-Ray for Maya uses a procedural to load USD files, translated from the MayaUSD plugin.
Hydra is still on our radar, but it needs to develop some more in Maya before we can start putting more work in it.
At the same time, in-memory updates in IPR through the procedural is something that we're also considering very seriously.

Hi Yolov,

Possible to get an update for 0.15 USD 21.11

https://github.com/Autodesk/maya-usd...es/tag/v0.15.0

The USD procedural stopped working on version 0.14

I'm on the latest vray.

Thanks!

We're working on it. For the moment, the latest supported version is 0.13.0.
We're working on supporting - 0.14 and 0.15, but until we do, it's recommended to use 0.13.0.

Is there something new in 0.15.0 that you need to use?

Data coming from Bifrost is using USD 0.15

[yolov]

Ah yes! We're also looking forward to this

[hsz]

Yeah as oglu said, because of the Bifrost graph. Thanks looking forward to it.

[oglu]

Any news here? USD 0.16 is out for a while.

[yolov]

We have made progress on this and we're working on getting something out soon.

[oglu]

Thanks for the info.
Next week will get interesting for Maya USD.
