Have you heard the term "OpenUSD" floating around, but couldn't quite grasp what it was? Well, you're definitely not alone! Technology is constantly evolving, and it's easy to feel left behind when new innovations emerge. But fear not, because OpenUSD is here to help! OpenUSD stands for Open Universal Scene Description, and it's an open-source initiative. What does that mean? It means that OpenUSD is being developed in a transparent and collaborative way, without any single organization claiming ownership. Instead, multiple organizations are coming together with a shared vision. So, what's the vision? It's simple: a world where sharing production assets among different creative software is consistent, reliable, and easy.
