This short series takes you through the process of viewing USD lights and materials on your objects in the Hydra Viewer.

The ability to view USD materials and lights in the Hydra Viewer provides artists with a preview of what their scene looks like without needing to perform a render. It allows you to experiment with material parameters and immediately see the changes you make.

In the first video, you will learn how to load the USD plugins, shipped with Katana 4. The following videos teach you how to assign USD materials to your objects, and create USD lights in your scene.
