USD lights to render elements

[jamesvfx]

Hey! I believe this is posible now, but is there a tutorial on how to do this? I just can't link the lights from the stage to lets say a "Light Select" hierarchy group.



Render elements support


Exchange assets between DCC along with their compositing output. V-Ray adds USD support for Beauty and masking Render Elements, and V-Ray Object Properties. <-------HOW???

I don't think that's possible at this point.

What is supported is exporting and reading render elements from USD files. Elements are read from USD via a Post-Translate Python script:

from vray.utils import *

u = findByType('VRayScene')[0]
u.set('override_render_elements', True)​

There's no documentation yet, because of the method's roughness. Regarding the V-Ray Object Properties - they are exported and read as expected.
