USD Distributed Rendering Support

[Measter]

The USD supported features page puts a few warnings on distributed rendering with USD, so it's fair it's not working. However it's something we would really like to have in the near future. Saying:

Assets linked in USD files may fail to resolve when using Distributed Rendering, or submitting to the Chaos Cloud, or exporting to .vrscene from Maya.

For example, if a Maya scene loads a USD file that in turn loads textures and / or other USD files.

is a little silly, since that's the foundation of USD.

Hi, thanks for posting. The way I understand it, this is regarding a USD loaded in the USD situation. I will investigate a bit further and get back to the thread.

Hi again. Currently, USD is not fully supported for Distributed Rendering or Chaos Cloud. As the docs cited above states, there may be issues with external assets. We have this issue logged in our system under VMAYA-12210. We will notify you when the issue is fixed.
