UsdToKatana

This node lets you convert upstream USD data into Katana data for rendering or editing the scene using Katana’s range of Geolib nodes.

Inputs

Connection Type

Connection Name

Function
input in The incoming scene graph data that the node will operate on or modify.

Controls

Control (UI)

Default Value

Function

deactivatePrims

enabled

Specify the prim path(s) below which all USD data is loaded (including the specified paths).

isolatePath

n/a

Load only the USD contents below this prim path.

motionSampleTimes

n/a

Specifies the motion sample times to load. The default behavior is no motion samples, and load only the current time 0.

instanceMode

expanded

When set to expanded, instances are loaded as though the children of parent primitives were there naturally.

When set to sources and instances, parents of instanced primitives are created under a sibling of /world named /instances.

usePurposeBasedMaterialBinding

No

When enabled, it allows you to specify material bindings to be loaded in for objects with a purpose tag from the USD stage.

When disabled, Katana will load in the whole USD scene with all material bindings resolved.

Note:  For more information, see USD Glossary: Purpose.

prePopulate

enabled

Enable to load all payloads and pre-populate the stage. (Assuming the entire stage will be needed).

Enabling this is more efficient since USD can use its internal multithreading.

verbose

disabled

When enabled, the information generated during USD scenegraph generation is output to the command line.

evaluateUsdSkelBindings

enabled

Enable to apply skinning to each prim that is bound to a skeleton.
