GeoExport

The GeoExport node exports a flattened stage to a file. You can export USD files using .usd, .usda, .usdc, .abc file extensions.

Note: In this beta, Splat file formats .ply and .splat are visible from the Format knob, but they are not yet supported.

Note: Writing the whole flattened stage is not a common workflow unless you are creating a stage from scratch with Nuke nodes.

Tip: GeoExport's classic 3D system equivalent is the WriteGeo node.

To learn more about the workflow, see Export From Your Scene.

Before Render	beforeRender	none	These functions run prior to starting rendering in execute(). If they throw an exception, the render aborts.
Before Each Frame	beforeFrameRender	none	These functions run prior to starting rendering of each individual frame. If they throw an exception, the render aborts.
After Each Frame	afterFrameRender	none	These functions run after each frame is finished rendering. They are not called if the render aborts. If they throw an exception, the render aborts.
After Render	afterRender	none	These functions run after rendering of all frames is finished. If they throw an error, the render aborts.
Render Progress	renderProgress	none	These functions run during rendering to determine progress or failure.
