- Also following up about the potential for a session on the physics schema.
- Upcoming meetings
- Group agreed to skip the December 23rd meeting, and regroup January 6th, 2021.
- USD Camera
- CoryO: had an internal discussion about the viability of extracting aspects of the Pixar camera model out into USD.
- Pixar's camera is represented in a layer above USD, and relies heavily on execution behaviors and features that are either not present in USD, or have different behavior than similar USD functionality (e.g. connections).
- Not really possible to extract the camera in a meaningful way, although it may be possible to at least publish the basic namespace and attribute structure, and maybe point out where the incompatibilities are.
- Initial page in the USDWG wiki for USD Camera includes some starting thoughts
- Open to the group to contribute sample camera structure for further discussion.
- MichaelJ: could possibly contribute a utility for layering multiple cameras into a USD scene for testing, pending legal approval.
- CoryO: wg-usd GitHub is available for this sort of contribution, if that would be more useful than attaching/embedding in a wiki page.
- CoryO: Please do seek approval, all contributions to the wiki and GitHub are CCBY 4.0.
- CoryO: had an internal discussion about the viability of extracting aspects of the Pixar camera model out into USD.
- Closing/Action Items
- Will discuss camera structure contributions at the next session.
