Interactive Google Colab notebooks

About

This project demonstrates the use of USD Python APIs via Google Colaboratory notebook.

The goal is to make it easy to:

  • Try code snippets without building or installing Pixar's Universal Scene Description (USD) locally;

  • Share code snippets without copy/pasting files and scripts to a local machine, thus mitigating some security concerns;

  • Provide repro steps when submitting issues to USD's GitHub repository;

  • etc.

Additional Colaboratory Links for Further Advanced CG Studies

Although not directly USD specific, the following repo of Google Colaboratory links provides a good long list of CG related deep learning notebooks as a bridge to what could be possible with USD + notebooks and literate programming.
