Levi Biasco When moving things around, it is where GUID are important. A semantic connection like GUIDs that can reliably point to a scene object even if it was moved in its original file is more important than hard path connectionconnections if renaming/reparenting is a frequent operation. 
There are 2 graphs:

• a scene graph
• a conceptual graph with semantics links

There is a mental model to break : how to reprsent represent that for the team?

Thomas is also asking how to use USD lights in game engine.

Next meeting topics

• Semantic connections
• Usage of USDLight in video game
