Pre-existing UsdIn workflows

Before the introduction of native USD nodes and tools, we offered ways to integrate USD into Katana workflows, such as UsdIn, which uses Katana’s proprietary data called geolib.

These workflows are still possible in Katana and may be helpful to use instead of native USD in certain cases:

• Loading in USD Assets with UsdIn

• Setting up USD Lights

• Setting up UsdPreviewSurface Materials

• Loading USD Plug-ins into Katana

This diagram shows a visual representation of the transfer between between USD and Katana geolib using UsdIn.
