Pixar Technology

In production environments using multiple applications (such as Maya, Katana, and Houdini), USD can enable a new level of reliable, efficient, flexible collaboration, including sharing of animated geometry, materials, and lights. With USD support planned or released from vendors like SideFX, Autodesk, Foundry, and Nvidia, this new technology will play an increasingly important role in production pipelines, and RenderMan’s support for USD is a critical part of future studio roadmaps across the industry.
