Libraries and tools for composing, exchanging, and rendering complex 3D scene descriptions.

OpenUSD provides libraries for authoring, reading and streaming time-sampled scene descriptions between graphics applications. Its build supports Linux, macOS and Windows, with optional Python bindings, imaging components and the usdview inspection tool. Additional library-only targets support embedding in iOS and visionOS applications or WebAssembly environments; the available components depend on the selected build configuration.
