Engines

✨ New in Katana 6.5

Engines can arbitrarily make changes to the USD scene graph. These are run by the USD Native Processing Engine which, similar to Ops, collates an EngineTree which is generated by the NodeUsd’s _getEngineChain method.

An example Engine is available in the $KATANA_ROOT/plugins/Src/UsdProcessingEngine folder.
