Opensource project NXT/USD

nxt_graphs_usd

So for the last month or so I have been working on a opensource project(nxt_graphs_usd) that builds off of USD Pixars awesome pipeline API, inside of another opensource project called NXT(Node eXecution Tree).

USD NXT fusion baby!

In my repo you will find a bunch of useful nodes for building up USD files, like authoring variants. 

The example below is based off of Pixars own tutorials.

I will be adding to this repo on and off, so there will be more updates coming.
