GeoImport

The GeoImport node is used to import USD and Alembic objects from external .usd and .abc files into Nuke. GeoImport does not allow you to change the Path of the object in the scene graph so importing the same file more than once has no effect because the objects would be overwritten with the same data. If you want to import the same object multiple times, use the GeoReference node to create an instance, or light-weight copy, of the required objects.
